Sand trade, get yourself some biodiversity for your sand.

[skinz78]

Another forum that I am on is currently getting ready to get a sand trade going and I thought you all may be interested.

All it is is everyone will send some (a cup) of the sand they have now from their tank to one central person, and then that person will mix all that is sent, feed it, take care of it and then in 8-12 weeks everyone will receive a package of sand in the mail.

So who is up for it? the more people we get in this the better it is for everyone.

If you are interested do a post saying "I'm in" In this thread and you will receive a PM with directions in it within the next week or two.

The flat rate box should be fine Les, I am pretty sure that is what we are planning on doing.

200 lbs. of free live sand at my place...get it quick or it's going in the yard! :lol:

 

[skinz78]

LOL I wish the bridge wasn't out.

 

[jnarowe]

I know, and you know no one will come and get it I am sure. It's all going in the yard within a couple of days. I can't believe you got your wife pregnant again...3 kids??? You must be some kind of masochist! :lol:

 

[skinz78]

LOL. You do realize that if you charge for the sand people will buy all you have and then whine when you run out. If you give it away nobody will want it.


It is weird how society works.

Yep I am a glutton for punishment. And the way her tummy is growing I am thinkin there is ether twins or she ate a watermelon seeds and all. She is only 10 weeks into it and you can see a bump even with baggy clothes on.

 

[jnarowe]

Well, you asked for it! :lol:

So I tossed the sand already. And of course as soon as I did, I got a PM about it. It's been in the yard all day. Oh well.

LOL isn't that always the case.
