Kyle its cheap as hell too i got a 50 poung bag for like 5dollars and some change. everyone who has seen it so far says they love the sand. It was very easy to washed i used my dads brand new cooler(he kinda got a lil mad) and then did wat bip said to just kept soaking it and dumping soaking and dumping till the water was coming up clear. now i just need to get some Rocks and Raise the Ph a lil bit

Robert Awesome! Glad to see you are on your way. The sand looks great. Keep in mind that when you start adding deco, you will need to take some of that water out before hand so you don't overflow, lol. Can't wait to see it all finished!!
