Where would be the best place to get sand for a tank. I know that it has to be rinsed very well or it clouds up the tank. Just wanted to know where people got theres from.
thanks

i got mine from walmart. it was crayola colored sand and kind of expensive.

i found hardware stores had a better selection of fine-grained playsand then walmart, and anything you get at petco is going to be wayyy over priced.
