UPDATE
I got play sand at Lowes - Sakrete - and it actually was really good. It had some pebbles and gravel and was natural.
Then I added some chick grit and some real red desert sand from Australia (I have extra from my bearded dragons but this stuff is expensive so will not be a repeat addition).
Then finally, I added 15 lb Sweet PDZ zeolite I have some happy chicks. (I have added more zeolite since this photo, so the sand is a little lighter now, but that's pretty much it)
Anyone interested in how I built the tunnel DM me this chickies love their new 300 gal home (2 x 150 gal containers) - there is also 6"x 8" a heating pad on both sides under the sand that acts like a sand warmer, so sometimes they don't even go under the eco-glow.
