I got the sand from walmart. IT was 5 bucks for a 20 pound bag and I got two bags.
Actually no, the water didnt turn blue at all and i thought it would. But luckily it didnt. :)

That sand looks awesome...... I would get that kind of sand for my next tank, but I like the natural look, as you can tell by the way my tank looks. My mom always sees them little ocean coral things and rubbery coral things that move in the water to make them look realistic, and she says that I should get one but I always tell her, That wouldn't be in a lake! :)

Someone mixed green and blue, so I'm betting that there's red.

Thanks :)
And yes, they had the colors- green, blue, yellow, and red.
The sand is not toxic and it should stay blue forever.
