Does anyone live near Danny's in Crofton and will definitely be attending the April meeting? I need a bag of Mystic White PFS and want to avoid the trek from DC if at all possible. (I bought 4 bags on my last trip out there and should have bought one more) :(
I will prepay Danny's by calling...
I have a mix of mostly pool filter sand with a little bit of pea gravel that came out of our 150 gallon fish tank several months ago. It's at least 3 50lb bags worth, though there might be more in there as well, I really don't remember.
We've decided against using it in the metaframe for...
Does anybody have an experiences with pre-washed pool filter sand? Living in a highrise condo without a back yard has me dreading the thought of rinsing 100+ lbs of sand multiple times in my kitchen sink. Where do I buy pre washed sand? How much?
Thanks all!

I switch over my 125 to pool filter sand. The Pfs came from Leslie's Pool supplies in Pasadena. 100lbs for $23. I used the bowl and plate trick for filling the tank. No pre rinsing or washing of sand . Documented the process with slide show , almost no clouding of the water at all. Final pic of...

I have "made over" two of my tanks so far putting this PFS in as my substrate for my Africans and it has made a HUGE difference. Lots of digging and displayed "spitting" ( they will gather a mouthful and then swim upwards and spit the sand producing a little cloud that falls back to the bottom...
Alright ya'll for the since starting my tanks I have only put sand in one and it was a nightmare. The stuff was too fine and kept the water cloudy as it wouldnt settle got in the filter and then would work its way back through the coarse sponges of the filters and right back into the water to...
Hi. I am looking to get a 55g and will use pool filter sand as the substrate. How much do I need? Any particular type? Any recomendations on a good place in the rockville area to get it? How do you recomend rinsing it?
Sorry for all the questions
I have a Purex Triton Star pressurized filter. It is a pool filter, and I had no idea if it could be used for any large set-ups or a fishroom.
I also have a 1 HP pump that came with it. The problem is that it runs off of 220.
Just seeing if there are any interest in these things. I need to...
