If you want white sand go to your local pool store and get some pool filter sand. If you want black go to tractor supply and get some blasting sand. Make sure you rinse each really well though. They will be about $8 for a 50lb bag

Your welcome :). Just make sure you rinse it until the water runs mostly clear, it will take some time.
