This sand is from my two 40 gallon breeder tanks.
3 Months old - same batch from the 300DD purchase.
So in regards to the sand in the 300DD, I just realized how great of a deal I let that sand go for.
It wasn't $40 per 40 pound bag, it is $40 per 30 pound bag!!
So with that being in the past - I figure this being also a solid deal.
About 50 pounds for $20!
This will accomodate a 1 1/2 inch 120 gallon tank no problem.
This would be also great if you were to mix sugar size with reef flake for the perfect combo in a deep sand bed "HIGH FLOW" SPS Tank.
PM Call or Taxt 772 559 1814.
As you see, it is drying out in the sun ready for pick up.

100% premium grade aragonite reef substrates expressed to you all the way from the South Pacific Ocean!
Excellent for use in marine, cichlid, and freshwater aquariums.
Composition - Composed of pure aragonite flakes, calcareous algae, juvenile seashells, coral fragments and other marine organisms. Highly rich in calcium, magnesium, strontium, carbonate and other trace elements essential for the growth of fishes, sps and lps stony corals, crustaceans, and all other aquatic organisms.
Benefits - Maximizes Filtration Capacity. Enormous surface area and internal space houses large Quantities of beneficial nitrifying/denitrifying bacteria and millions of microbes. Massive buffering capability ensures a stable alkalinity and pH level at around 8.2 in seawater and cichlid aquariums. Quickly creates a natural biological balance which discourages the growth of nuisance algae.
Tropic Eden Premium Grade Aragonite Reef Substrates are TRUE marine originated aragonite. Unlike calcium carbonate oolite which forms at the interface of cool and warm oceanic currents, Tropic Eden's aragonite reef substrates consist of REAL calcareous algae, juvenile seashells, foraminifera shells, coral fragments, and other marine calcareous organisms. Because these materials are the remains of marine organisms, they contain all of the essential elements necessary for the growth of marine organisms.
At Tropic EdenT, we only select the highest quality of reef sand that exactly matches the requirement we need. We pay great attention to selecting the specific forms of the reef sand we collect. Hence, we have the sugar sized reef sand DeepSea AragaSnow, the Tonga MiniFlakes that resemble tiny bits of bread crumbs, the Tonga Reeflakes which look very much like oatmeal flakes, and the original Tropic EdenT C.R.Media for use in calcium reactor as a great source of a complete spectrum of minerals and trace elements so critical for the growth of stony corals and all other calcareous organisms. These four are part of Tropic Eden's high quality natural aquarium products.
Very importantly, of course, we make sure that every load of our reef sand contains at least 95% of MARINE ARAGONITE, the material that is most suited for use as substrate in reef, marine, or cichlid aquariums. Tropic EdenT Premium Grade Aragonite Reef Substrates are TRUE marine originated aragonite, naturally formed by calcareous marine organisms, in the process of skeletal growth or the building of calcareous body structure. Aragonite is the material of choice for use as buffer in marine or cichlid aquariums, which counteracts any pH fluctuation that causes deviation from 8.2, the prime pH value of marine water in the natural coral reefs. Thus, aquariums with sand bed layer composed of Tropic Eden 's marine aragonite significant differ from aquariums that use relatively inert calcium carbonate materials or the calcite form of coral skeleton that usually stabilize at an exceedingly low pH value of 7.5 - 7.8, a highly unfavorable pH value to marine fishes, and all coral reef organisms.
