    I think the home depot near me changed the bag but not sure of the sand. Has anyone ever used the quickrete for the aquarium? Thanks

    I have heard of people using it but if your going for cheap I would use pool filter sand from the pool place . I swear by this stuff. Most pool places sell it for $8-9 for 50 lbs. Nice grain size super easy to clean.

    That's what I put in my 46 gallon. It seems fine and looks good to me.

    All of my aquariums have Quikrete playsand in them. Didn't know about the pool filter sand. Have had the playsand for quite a long time now and no problems whatsoever.

    That's what I am looking at for my new 135, a friend uses pool filter sand in his 55. It looks great with it in there.
