Just setup a small fuge on a small budget, now all I need is a nice sand band to get it going. I don't care if the sand is old, new, live, dead, whatever, I just need a gallon of sand. But of course marine sand only :bigsmile: Let me know if anyone has some sand laying around. Thanks!

Thank you! I will be passing through SA in three weeks. If I don't have sand by then I will let you know.

You don't want to use sand from the beaches at Corpus. It is silica based sand and will cause really bad problems for your tank.
