Substrate sand
Substrate sand
I have a bag of play sand that we got atleast a year ago, now it’s time to redo the crabs tank substrate and I was wondering if the bag is going to be okay to use considering it’s been sitting on the front porch all this time?

Re: Substrate sand
I've actually done the same thing. I had 2 bags sitting on my front porch forever (probably over a year). I only recently opened the one bag for my newer 29 gal and it was fine. I still have one more bag hanging out front.

Re: Substrate sand
Now if I see anyone with a bag of sand on their front porch, I'm going to assume they're a crabber LOL
