Micro-bubble dispenser. :cool:

Ok I want to know too. is it a cosmetic thing or are there benefits to have micro bubbles vs regular bubbles.

This is a bubble talk now. :D

From my sumps last baffle, the falling water made bubbles that got sucked into pump and into tank. Didn't wash the sand, didn't have too it's clean from the bag.

This tank is simply amazing. Great scaping and an beautiful java! I've been considering changing out my 33gal's white PFS for a fine black, but haven't decided on what brand or where to get it. After looking at these pictures, however, I'm sold on this Spectraquartz.

Does anyone know of some locations in DC that might sell Estes or any fine black sand like Thai's?

Ram quartz and resin flooring in glen burnie

Here's the sand wet. Very clean no rinsing and even when I was inside agitating it to get the bubbles out it never clouded

Clown loaches look good in there.

I called them about the sand...$30 for a 50lbs bag, nah, I'm good. I went back to the old dirty Black Diamond.

Cost is higher than obviously black diamond but that stuff is dirt cheap and has so much impurities in it...paying more for the clean look but still less than black aquarium sand.
Here's how it looks once settled in and bubble free
