Blasting sand can sometimes be found at Menards, Lowes or Home Depot. If you happen to have a Harbor Freight Tools nearby they should also have some. An item of note - the finer blasting sand "can" be sucked up into your filter depending on how much your fish stir it up. A medium or course grit blasting sand seems to work better as it stays put a bit better. If you live in a bigger city, there is usually an industrial supplier of blasting sand that should have what you need.
Hi, I'm planning a 10 gallon iwagumi scape, and I was planning on using black diamond blasting sand. I'm looking for some pointers and all the information I can get about it? What kind to get, where to get it, how to rinse it, things to worry about, etc.
If you do not see medium, ask if they have it in the back. Mine only had fine out but they had a whole pallet of medium in the warehouse side of the store.
Definitely go for medium blasting sand. I think fine pool filter sand or play sand looks great because it's very white beachy looking. But black sand looks great in medium grit, sinks faster, and doesn't stir as much.
Often find it at lowes and homedepot. May have it at Menards if you have one of those. At the price of the stuff I wouldn't worry about the excess.
