Josh Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Pool filter sand is the same color as normal sand when wet but has larger grains. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syndosis Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Howde. Pool filter sand is surely one of the cheapest nicest gravels/sands for tanks that I know. Most outdoor places that supply pools etc will stock it. My local shop here in Bendigo has it in 25kg bags for around $11 and I know others that have bought 25kg bags for $8. So just ring a few pool supply people as they should have it. Damon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
