Sand in fresh water aquariums

Just do midnight missions to the beach/river for the sand you want. I went to taylors mistake in Christchurch just on dark. I filled up a wax sack with the cool sand from there in about 2 minutes. No body said anything and i had the sand i wanted for the cold water marine setup i had.

they mine sand from the beach i grew up at on the east coast (the beach where the movie whale rider was filmed). it is incredible the amount they have taken. the area they have mined is around 5 times the area they had permission to. they removed 20ish HUGE sand dunes, including a maori burial site and old marai site. once they got pinged by the council for taking too much area, they have started digging down and the pit is now close to 50m deep. they take 3 big truck and trailer loads out a day
