Hi,
I live in California, about 2 hours drive to the Pacific Ocean. My question is, could I simply take a run out to the coast and collect a few bucketfulls of sand and use it in my tank? I cannot see how natural sand, that has existed for millennia, would be detrimental to a reef aquarium? Does anyone have actual experience with this?
Edit: Obviously, I would boil it and dry it thoroughly before introducing it to my tank.
Thanks,
Steve
