So I know I’ve seen a post on here somewhere about the alternatives to the aquarium grade black sand, but that thread was old. Any way I wanted to know if anyone used and had success with the black diamond sand blasting media. I recall people said it had a high amount of iron in it and that could kill fish, anyone find that true? Or if anyone found a better substitute what was that?
I am scaping a 240g so 8 ft by 2 ft and I’d like a good layer to help secure driftwood and plants so I would need 360 pounds according to a calculator. At $25 for a 20 pound bag, that’s $450 for just the sand!!!
I guess now when you see the video titles that say something like “$1,000,000 aquarium” you know 1/4 of that cost is in sand?
