Hello All,
I currently have an 8' 300-gallon system setup as a predatory tank. I am waiting on a larger 8'x4' tank to be built and looking for ideas for the sand bed. Hoping to end up with about 2" of sand in the new tank, which according to BRS should take a little over 400 pounds of sand.
I would prefer to start over with fresh sand in the new system rather than trying to pull the sand from current setup, but 400 pounds of live sand would need a small loan to pay for. Anyone have ideas for a cheaper method? Sand would need to be somewhat fine grain as the tank is going to have a yellow stingray in it that of course loves to hide in the sand.
