Hello
We are getting things ready before we adopt.
We have a 40 gallon tank and I’m wandering how much playsand I need to get.
Which one is recommended

any playsand is good! Popular brands are quikrete and sakrete. for a 40 gallon about 40 bags will be good, the rule of thumb is usually 1 bag of sand and 1 bag/brick of eco earth per 10 gallons, but you dont have to use ecoearth if you dont want to for some reason
