Hello!
I am mixing bricks of coco fiber (zoo med brand) with sand for their substrate, and I have seen people talking about play sand but I'm not sure what kind i should get to mix with the coco fiber. Do yall have any suggestions for a good brand, or does it not matter what brand I get as long as it says play sand?

I have also been wondering that same thing. I want to increase how deep my substrate is.

Pretty much any 'play sand' is good. Some people do prefer one brand over the other....but my closest Home Depot only had this kind:
