The other thing is, i can see a difference in the grain size (unless that is a difference in distance).

If you going for a deep sand bed, want sand for a refugium etc grain size, and difference in grain size between two batches, ESPECIALLY if you want to do something specific with it, or even like the look of a specific size, will not achieve the same result as a sand that is recommended for the purpose and will achieve the best results.

So im with you NiCd, dont compromise.

Although i do agree with matt, in that when in the tank, and washed before it goes in, you may not actually notice a difference, but if you are aiming for it to do a specific job, or look a certain way, and your not happy with it, then its best not to use it.

Valid point, cant argue with logic.

Although promise me when you do return it, you Russell Crow them with the product!!

The grain size is very different, the shit one is about four times the size, which from my experience means It would end up settling on top. I'm trying to go for a look that this won't achieve. I'd love to russell crow him with it !
