Regular Member HomerJay Posted March 5, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted March 5, 2016 I would think pool filter sand would be close to this. Never even thought of that, do you know the pros and cons? Pro's are it's much much cheaper. Con's are that it may take a bit longer to clean. It is not prewashed as much as aquarium specific sand. Otherwise. it's just sand, like the stuff you get from caribsea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
