Sandtastic sand isn't fantastic

I got my Fiddler crabs sand from Cablehead beach in PEI on our vacation. That stuff is amazing! I put some in with my hermits, and they loved it too! It is very fine grade, NO junk in it, and I got it way up on the side of a dune where the tide can't reach. No wonder it's so clean! I did not break laws getting the sand on the dune, though, as the entrance to beach goes over a dune. I got the sand off to the side, where no one had stepped (this beach at the max has about 5 people on it at any given time).

Thanks!
I used bags to hold the sand, but I figured out pretty fast that about 5kg of sand would not quite work well with a cheap Ziploc bag (the zipper completely came off and ripped). I ended up doubling all the bags (four of them) with more bags. Getting them in the car was a bit tricky!
