I see where people talk about using blasting sand to hold your soil down where it belongs. Where do you get blasting sand?

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.

Thanks
