felixc Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) I am setting up an african tank with large limestones and would like to add dark colored sand. Perhaps brown or black. I've used play sand before and rather not go that route again. Where can I find 50lb of quality sand in Calgary?

You can go to sand blasting companies or pool supply companies to find it. There are also other places some other people might be able to suggest. I have seen darker sand at LFS's but it is more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaggle Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 check out sand blasting supply shops they should have some "Sil sand" there. I think most people have beed using Sil 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Big or Go Home! Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I buy all my sand from here....they have glass display bottles of each size of sand so you can see it before you buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
