Hi
Play-sand is okay for aquariums...BQ sell it I think...or garden centres.

Cheers hogan an gill

Seen it at Argos 4.99 for 20 or 25kg bag

Would I need to run boiling water over it to kill bacteria or would running it under the tap b ok

Run Under a Tap in a bucket to clear the dust is Fine. What I have done in the past with Playsand.
