I bought a large bag of filter sand from the local pool store for a Fludized Bed Filter I am trying to build. Does anyone want some? I would be willing to sell for 3.00 a liter.

LEt me know if you are interested.

How much for a 5 gallon bucket full approximately? I'll supply the bucket LOL.

I think the entire bag was 5 gallons

Ok thanks, guess I will have to grab my own bag.

Are you using a 5 gallon bucket for your filter? If you are, you only want your filter approximately 1/3 full, as if it is more full you tend to blow the sand into your tank.

No I am not actually farmiliar with that type of filter set up. I just like the look as a substrate.
Post edit.....

Edit:

I think I am going to redo my 5 gallon gravel tank with filter sand, and get some shrimpy-love going on.
