oh just so by the way i have someone supplying me the only reason i am offering the stuff is cos shops are moving it from 2oo to 1000 a bag and i just think its madness..i dont do this for monetry benefit as i make nothing out of the deal..infact it cost me money picking it up and dropping it off at the guys who transport it for us..so if anyone thinks this is a commercial thread sorry for you....

 

Shaun,

Thank you for the kind offer,i would love a bag!i will send you a PM.Your'e the MAN!

 

Volcanic black substrate - aka sandblasting grit. :bigsmile:

 

Hi ryan would not know what sandblasting grit looks like...this is what im being given it to as volcanic black substrate...and is how the bags are marked..if you know what this stuff is please let me know ...thanx shaun...

 

You can test the sandblasting sand, by taking a small hand full, and clinch your hand with it inside. Now open your hand let the sand drop, and look carefully at the particles stuck to your hand. If it has sharp edges, it was crushed and no good. You can also rub it between your palms and if it hurt - no good. If it is smooth, use vinigar and a "vergrootglas" (can't think of the name now!) to examine it better. A little sand in a glass, could also give you a good idea - messure ph on day one and after a few days!
Good luck

 

I would def like a bag if its coming down to PE! Please PM me bank details etc and how much i owe you!

Thanks
Freaksta

 

Thanx Gert will check it out

 

Please read your PM

 

Black beauty, black diamond, volcanic black, blastrite. There are many different types and grit sizes, all sourced mainly for sandblasting.

 

I would like 2 bags if it is 100% fish safe. Keep me posted.

 

Is it possible to get some stuff to PE?

 

Hi Shaun

Can you send 2 bags to Johannesburg for me

Thanx

 

My spiny eel digs himself in the substrate and it doesn't look like its bothering him at all.
