Play sand question.

Post by Momthemom » Tue Aug 15, 2023 2:59 pm

I'm a new to hermit crabs and I am building a bigger 20 gallon tank set up. In the 10 gallon I already have I used Flukers hermit beach sand and Eco earth. It works great but I'm sure as you all know it is pricey. I purchased from Lowe's Sakrete All-natural play sand. I found a lot of mixed reviews and would like to know if Sakrete All-natural play sand is ok to use?

It is! Sakrete and Quikrete are the two major brands of playsand, with location playing the biggest part of which you'll end up with.

Yes! I use Quikrete and love it, I went to get Sakrete and they where out at my local Home Depot! I'm very happy with my Quikrete, and I hope the Sakrete streets you well!
