Phenomena Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Pool supplies shops. Ask for pool filter sand (<$10/20kg). Coarser and whiter than beach sand. 2 bags are more than enough to cover 6x2. With sand you don't want too thick as it can compact and create anaerobic spots. 1 inch thick is sufficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spedwards Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 If you want super white then check out crushed marble, it comes in a variety of sizes and can help buffer your water. Last time I got some it was $12.50 for a 25kg bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spedwards Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I got mine from Mini-Crete in Lakemba. They have other locations but when I last purchased this was the only one which stocked the crushed marble. http://minicreteconcrete.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
