[125reefer]

[gods servant]

why that sand may i ask

 

[gods servant]

oh ya dont know how to im

It is almost impossible to find it, if you do make sure it is the real thing.

Godservant was a great substitute for reef sand because it was not silicate based and it was cheap.

 

[125reefer]

yeah thats what i figured.i used it when i set up my 125 and now i cant find it anywhere

South Down was bought out by Old Castle about 5 years ago, that's why you can't find it.
Old Castle then became Yardright.

Yardright is not the same silica-free sand that South Down was.
