[Killietalk] RE:Sand, green sand

[Diapteron at hawaii_rr.com]

I recall, that it was sandbalsting sand that was used for spawning and a fine meash net to strain the eggs out.  The sand would pass through the net and leave the eggs behind as per Lee's fine size data for eggs will show.  


As green sand goes.  In Hawaii it could be a differnt thing.  we have a green sand beach.  Composed of olivine (potassium oxide? silicate?).  I recall the other green sand being used as a soil ammendment for adding a slow release potassium (pot ash).  Could it be a similar material only a much finer grade material?
