Looking for brown sand

[frantic]

So I am using play sand , but I am looking for something darker brown and more natural. Any suggestions? And if you had pics that would be great. Thanks

Try looking for a pool place in your area and ask for pool filter sand.

I've used that in the past as well. I think it was lighter color than the play sand I have.

hth pool filter sand, makes a white and a brown version. Just not sure if it's that deep brown. Home depot has a few as well might be a better pick...good luck!

Why do you want such dark sand? The sand in Lake Tang that Tropheus are used to and over their entire lives is the color of light playsand and closer to something like "Natures Ocean, Gold" colored substrate. The darker the substrate the less the tropheus will proper display there colors.

From my experience, you'll end up seeing more brownish and dull colors that what tropheus are capable of displaying.

Just a little darker than what I have,  this is play sand with blue/white led. Don' t want to go too dark

I would keep what you have, looks great & more natural. You already have a dark backround. Looking good.

I use aragonite sand has a bit of texture with different colored contents of shells/crushed coral etc. See if you like it! (keeps the PH buffered naturally too)
