Is it $30 per bag if the group buys 10+ bags total?

9kg bags yeah?

I'd be looking a getting 3.


Dazza

[scroogy1]

Yes 9kg bags

The prices are what you pay according to how many bags you get group discount already factored into the price.

3 bags for Dazza?

[dazzabozza]

Yes 3 bags thanks.

[2FasT-2FuriouS]

Yes 3 bags thanks.

you can go down to ur local store at bunning and they sell them at $2.99 per kg so 9kg would only cost u $26.91 not $30 plus no waiting or hassle with postage.

they also do bulk buy as well.

Really? Surprised no one else has mentioned this.... Def the same stuff? What section in Bunnings?

I purchased some black sand from bunnings approx 6 months ago, as I wasn't able to find moon sand anywhere.

The stuff I found at bunnings was Bonsai Sand, after mixing it with my aragonite I found that the stuff floats to the top and is too light in weight.

unless we are talking about two totally different products I wouldn't recommend it.

However you may as well try it for yourself, purchase a bag of the stuff and place it in buck.

It would be good to hear other peoples feedback.

I'm interested in a lot of this... A few questions first please...
1. I am getting a tank of 2750mm L X 420mm D X 800mm H (approx at this stage) - Would it be correct to say that I will need about 130Kg (14 bags of this)?
2. What is that cheaper alternative from Bunnings? Is it viable or should I just spend the money on the real stuff?
3. I assume it would need to be picked up somewhere in Perth? Where? And also likely to be when?
4. Lastly, as this is proper aquarium sand, would it need rinsing? As I'm not looking forward to washing 130kg of sand!

Yes please let us know if it is any good as the reason im doing this order is that i need alot myself (30 bags) so thought i would help others out with the price and get 50 bags. 2fast-2furious what excactley is the sand u are refering to.

As for when this will be ordered im looking at roughly 1-2 weeks to order and then the same for delivery.

Only 15 left

Grumpy, I have the proper Tahitian moon sand, I went 5 nine kg bags in a 4'x18"x2' tank around
2 years ago, yes you do need to rinsing it, unless you like a milky white tank for a couple of weeks!
I had that problem cause i didnt rinse it enought!
You soon learn by your mistakes, I did!

regarding the bunnings stuff... had a look at work today, yes we have it, but it isnt the tahitian moonsand. im gonna find a 'broken' bag and test it out. only thing im questioning is if it is just dyed, because we also sell ;ink sand of the same look. you might want to look at getting the aquarium stuff for safe measure, as if it is dyed, the dye may run

oh and its $2.94/kg while a garden place out in joondalup i think has it for $2.95/kg

[Happyfish]

I'll take 5 bags
cheers

[DR14GoNF14SH]

i have tried the stuff from bunnings, and imo it sux...i bought around 15 bags, tested a couple then returned the rest...terrible stuff...

1. its way too light, ie floats
2. it is not meant for aquariums
3. it looks no where near as good as TM
4. why waste your time with an inferior product in order to save a few measly dollars? literally...

Scroogy, i'll take 2 bags mate...

cheers,
e.

[Grumpysmurf]

Have I secured my 14 bags? If not, how can I do so?

[ChRiS_06]

[Shankd]

not wrong there. checked it out today, and it IS just dyed, not natural black sand

[scroogy1]

No problem guys just spoke with the guy and we can get extra bags so i can accomodate everyone that has asked for bags so far. will place the order next weekend at the latest.

Cheers Jason

[Grumpysmurf]

Perfect timing for me. I will change to 15 bags - @ $30 each, will make it a round figure of $450. Happy to direct deposit 1st if needed. I just hope that my tank quote comes through otherwise I will have lots of expensive black sand scattered in the garden!
