    Question Which of these sands is the correct grain size ??

    Hi,

    Out of these sands.......


    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 ?
    I assume they are available in the USA ?

    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]

    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.

    Regards,

    Scott

    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]

    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.

    Question

    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 .
