I'm looking for some sand for my 300, probably between 1-2 hundred pounds.. I'd like to find some Black or Natural color for my tank.. I don't want the really fine stuff so probably a T grade i think. If anyone knows a good place that sell any up north or on the east side that works to.. Thanks.

Home depot - quikrete commercial grade sand; prewashed.
I think is comes in white or khaki colours.
Not sure about the price, but I've read it's cheap.

Thanks, i'll go and check that out this weekend sometime.. I know they have the almost white stuff because my friend just bought some but he said it's as fine as sugar.. And i know my rays would stir that stuff up big time.

They have fine stuff, and heavier stuff too... think it 7 bucks for 50lbs.... Otherwise your gonna be spending allot of money at a pet shop on black sand... especially that much, and buying it online your shipping cost would be crazy.

the stuff i have been using is from depot its lane mountain (aka silica which comes from a pit here in washington) its like $8 for 100# but i have discovered not all HD's carry it

OOOO ive got black sand. It coverd my 180 4" deep 24x72 i think it is 300 exactly

Dont know how far you are from enumclaw but this guys got 200 lbs of black sand

Where exactly is Enumclaw?? I know Kasey Kahne is from there but that's all I know.. Lol. I love to grab that black sand.

there's a place called manufactures minerals in Renton that sells all sorts of sand and gravel . . . just kinda an FYI post, they may not offer anything you can't get at HD or the like.

Ballard sand and gravel will fill up a pickup of silica sand for like 100$ or something ridiculously cheap. Never done it myself but have been told. Probably worth a phone call if you are still looking...

Cool thanks, i can't do anything until friday after i get paid but i'll check out a few of those places.

Looks like I will be going to HD for some of that white sand... I'm looking for Black, but haven't has any luck.

Hey icer, you have black or white?

My boyfriend got the silica sand Icer is using as well he has cichlids with his, they rub on the bottom occasionally and it doesn't stir up much but of course stingrays have ALOT more power to them than a 4" cichlid lol. But it was relatively easy to use in the tank, it is almost white. But cheap price for that much! He bought a 20lbs bag of cichlid shell fragments and put in with it and it looks great. I need to post new pictures now that the tank is up and running.

icer711, thanks for the sand bag, nice meeting you. I'll get to use the this weekend. The pool sand works good, I have a buddy that uses for his arro tank. its dense that the waste does not get trap and heavy enough that he can run power heads.... I'm still looking for some black sand, can't afford Wetspot's $2.50 a pound,

I have black sand... three different grit sizes... 30/60 mixture (really fine), 16 (medium), and 8/12.
