Bought some silica sand, how do I prep it? (updated with pic

Only 255 miles? I'd do it. You can make that trip in a day. Its a far cry from the 2000+ miles that us west-coasters would have to go.

I suppose it depends on how much you have to get though. It wouldn't be worth it for just two bags.

I wouldn't worry too much about the exact size of the sand, I mean come on. I really don't think .2mm one way or another is gonna make much difference.

If your just looking for an aesthically pleasing DSB then your on the right track.
However if you want a fully functional DSB I would shoot for a better grain size.

To something 6 foot tall .2mm is insignificant but to something comparitive in size it is very significant.
