Live sand

[Balmarog]

Hey guys, I have a quick question.
My live rock should be here next Monday so I'm going to get my sand tonight. Should I just go to Atlantis? There was none at Petco or Pet Quarters. I just can't wait to finish getting it all set up.

personally I'd just go to homedepot ot Lowes... that is all I've done for my last three tanks...

What kind of sand are you getting at home depot? Is it safe? Will if get seeded with pods and stuff from the live rock?

I just use play sand... white or brown.. Just don't get the marble chips..
I actually find that the brown sand is a little finer and seems to have better life in it down the road.
I check it for big chunks and I put it in the tank...
