WTB Southdown Sand

junglebase · 03-29-2006, 02:22 PM

Does anyone know where I can buy Southdown locally? Also, how many pounds would I need for a 125 gallon tank?

Thanks

Dude there is an expedition that has formed to find the mysterious and elusive Southdown Sand Creature. It might have been the latest addition to the MR Extinction list. PM House, he'll fill you in.

It's the grain size, texture, look & price, that makes "south down" popular.

I think we all know how sand works~
