This might be a crazy question being that it may be illegal but has anyone ever just gone to the beach and harvested sand there for their tank? Will it work? How about rock? I am just trying to feel out all of my options. Thanks in advance

I wouldn't use sand from the beach due to the likelihood of contamination from various sources. Taking some from farther out to sea might be legal and reasonable in some areas.
IMO, I would avoid the sand/rock. Have you seen what washes up on shore? That has to be loaded with who knows what.

beach sand is full of unwanted chemicals, it really isn't a good choice.

I would avoid using It beacuse of the reason others have listed, but I myself have used It being on buget and had no Issues. I did rinse as best as I could befor adding It.

I took my metal detecter to the beach in So California. All i was finding was rusty nails and pull tabs from aluminum cans. I found a boat load of rusty nails and now i think twice about walking barefoot at the beach...
