Hi,

CAS ARAG POW Aragamight Calcium Powder £14.99 CAS ARAG SAND Aragamax Sand 30lb £29.99 CAS REEF SAND Sea Floor Pink Reef Sand 18lb £28 CAS CRU CORAL Florida Crushed Coral 20lb £23.99 Which would be the correct size for a DSB or refuge ?

Marc
Casco - Aragamax Sand Is the one you need for DSB (sugar sized). Sea Floor looks nice but is too course, not even gona mention the crushed coral [img]/ubb/wink.gif[/img] ------------------ "There can be only one" |

Atkins,
Based on your descriptions... There are two different “sugar sized sands” “CAS ARAG SAND Aragamax Sand 30lb £29.99” You want product #930 which has more of the desirable fine particles. Product #932 is good when used with the ESV product, but if you are using the CaribSea product exclusively, the #930 product is superior.

Since no one else has commented on this, I just want to mention that "CAS ARAG POW Aragamight Calcium Powder £14.99" is not sand, it is an additive. [img]/ubb/wink.gif[/img] Ninong [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img] ------------------ Irrational Exuberance! |

Atkins.
Here is the URL for CaribSea: http://www.carib-sea.com/Carib1.htm They discuss the sand in terms of particle size, but no close-up pictures.

Hi again,
Next question is who supplies caribsea with this stuff ? Do i understand right that the HD play sand is the same but a fraction of the price ? Can you tell me the product code of the HD sand and if if HD has a mail addy in the US. What i want to do is find the supplier and see if they deal with any of the european DIY outlets..........obviously i'll need the codes etc so i can query this . ------------------ Cheers Marc All credit for the webpage goes to Aquanut....
