how much sand 100 gal

I notice that the finer sands build gas too.

that too... it compacts and builds up gas pockets in the sand very easily so frequent stirring of the sand is a must.

I use to use play sand color was too dull imo, I than switch to river rocks now I am doing black moon sand as I'm planning to keep some frontosa

Surprised no one mentioned about the moon sand, it's really fine and light.

Try not to get too much flow going in the tank and keep your intake strainers really far from the sand cause any of it will destroy your filters.

Thanks I will make sure I raise my intake once setup

WOW! That's expensive! I paid $18 for two 50# bags of black sandblasting media. Baller!

Black Beauty and Black Diamond are coal slag. Not oily from what I've seen. Black Diamond comes in two textures. An extra fine and a fine texture.

Where did you get them from and how hard was getting it tan ready?

Tractor supply co. Has the black diamond in two textures. Forgot the name of the other company that sells black beauty, but you can do a google search. Tan ready? If you mean washing it, it wasn't that hard. Rinse a few times and then dump it in the tank.
