  • Black Sand (substrate) Anyone

    I'm feeling out the box here to see how much interest there is at this time in BLACK SAND

    I'm thinking of re doing a few of my tanks with this heavy grain black sand. This sand is not even close to being as fine as the sugar sand, it is larger and heavy granules, and is JET BLACK in color.

    Let me know here or in PM if you would be willing to go in on 100 pound bags. I have not been quoted a price yet, but it should be similar to the sugar sand deal. ???

        Jetchanic -- the price on the sugar sand was 100lbs bags for $25.   This stuff when you put in your tank and there is any current in it, will ripple like the out going water rippling effect on a beach... looks very cool.  Heavy enough it settles quick.  Very nice sand

          I will probably want a bag unless someone wants to split a bag. Only really need about 10-20lbs.

            I would be interested in half a bag to a full bag if there is a way to get it to the south side of town.

            He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

              I'll take a bag if the price is right.

                I've asked the guy I buy this from to contact early next week, after I find out how much it will cost me, I'll post the exact prices here.  I'm trying to get him to sell me two different types of sand, the JET BLACK and a larger grain natural color. (15 bags each)

                I prefer to have it picked up from NW houston (the warehouse) but will make a SE delivery run if you all can arrange a central SE drop off location.

                Let me know ASAP.

                Thanks

                  Just let me know where the meet is and I'll be there.
                  If you have trouble getting takers for the 15 bags, I'll take any partial bags up to a total of 200#

                      depending on price, I will probably take 2 bags
                      this crap will not cloud up and clog my filter like the sugar sand

                        I need 50-60 lbs so I would take a bag if not 2 just to keep one around for future projects.  I love the look of black substrate vs. really really bright white or whatever.

                            I would probably be interested in splitting a bag... would want to see it in person before I said 100% that I would want it...  I'm sure you'll take some to a GHAC meeting at some point so I'll check it out then.

                              how big are the black sand grain ? is it "play sand fine" or "Pool filter sand fine" ?

                              I'm interested if they're PFS fine.
