pony-tail Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I am looking for somewhere that I can buy pool filter sand on the north side . Specifically looking for sand without additives as it is for soft water aquaria . other readily available similar substrates may be of interest .

kurt27 Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I know this is no help to you, but I rang a ton of pool shops on the gold coast and no one seems to stock it anymore. there is far more efficient pool filter media used now. I did find some at 'pool doctor' in oxenford. it was hideously expensive at 30 a bag (20kg). I grabbed a couple as it was exactly the look I was chasing. best bet mate it to just ring all your local pool shops. its nearly a given the chain shops like swimart etc wont stock it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4rker Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 (edited) I rate this sand! I bought it from 'Pool Pro' (NSW) Its grade 7C. Worth looking up. Got this one because of its higher grade (granules are relatively uniform). Forget the mm sizing now though. Its really clean but still needs a wash before going into tank. Off memory it was $26 p/bag. 2x did a 6ft tank Edited September 19, 2015 by P4rker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
