[Wanted to hear how people have made thier sand beds to give me an idea of what to do and then decide how I want to do it. Also couple questions on this topic...
What does everyone think about using generic sand from Lowes or Home Depot for a sand bed and buying some oolite or some "real" sand from LFS to finish it out? (and getting a couple cups of live sand from an established tank to "infect" it all).
Someone mentioned to me about doing this and I thought to myself, why not? What keeps someone from buying a 100 pound bag of sand from home depot instead of paying $1 a pound from a LFS? Whats the real difference?
Just wanted to hear everyone's thoughts and then will make up my mind as to what to do. Thanks.
