i want to buy white sand

[reefman069]

i am thinking of putting white sand into my 360 gallon reef tank. i do not want the super fine sand. what size grain sand do you recommend. also were do i buy that much sand from. i calculate that i will need 288 pounds to do a 1 inch sand bed on a 8 feet by 4 feet tank

I just did this on a much smaller scale with my fuge . Every calculator or number I found online assumed 'live sand' it seemed since it didn't take nearly as much as what they returned. Just a heads up that the numbers may be off.. and even if you did it yourself, the per cubic inch numbers I found didn't end up being correct either. I don't remember what it actually worked out to with the dry sand, but there a thread here somewhere that notes it. (along with a stupid guessing game)
