sand for seeding

[dlsmith21]

I am setting up a 210g tank and buying all LS for it is out of the question. I can get sand from 2 of my existing tanks for seeding but am unsure on which dry sand to buy. I saw a thread listing Quikrete medium grade sand as an option but my Lowe's here doesn't carry that grade. Can someone please point me to some place to buy dry sand ? Thanks !

i read this the other day it says about sand grain size smaller being better

A number of people have had success using Kolorscrape white play sand from Home Depot. I am going to be using that in my next tank.

Not Quickcrete from Lowes, it's Pavestone Pulverized Limestone.

I used the pulverized limestone in my new tank. I'm very happy with it. I had to call around to find a Home Depot with it.

You can see my tank at the bottom of this thread:

The fact of the matter is that you can you use whatever you like. It truly doesn't matter. The only consideration is to not use silica based sand in an acrylic tank because it will scratch it pretty badly. Find one that is affordable and looks good to you and go for it.
