RE: sand

["Mike Chappell" <chippell@sgi.net>]

Hi there,

I am from the pittsburgh area, wondering where you are finding this sand at?
At a landcaping stone yard? At a home depot/lowes type of shop? Thanks for
the info where to find some at.  I have asked a few people local with no
locating it-

I first got onto black beauty over 12 years ago, using the same batch in a
40
breeder plant tank for apistos.  I've had apistos, checkerboard cichlids,
and
black neons spawn in the tank so don't believe it is a problem.  However, it
does appear to be rather abrasive on corys.
