I don't live in Ohio but I took me 6 Home Depots here in MI before I could find one that sold it.
And BTW, GO BLUE !

How far are you from Findlay? If your not too far I will go to the HD here and see what they have. It would be a good excuse to get some new power tools while I'm there

HOME DEPOT SAND. HI guys, I have a solution to your question. I work for The Home Depot in Crawfordsville Indiana. I actually order product for The Home Depot. I have done a little research on the Tropical Playsand. I can get the sand, but I have to order in quanities of 50, 50lb bags. I will only do this if you can pay for, and pick it up at the store. I can deliver in a small radius of Crawfordsville Indiana, additional fee applies. The Chicago area stores do stock this item. This is where I would get my supply. It cost me to ship by courier. I can get you locations if interested. The 50lb bag retails for $6.99 US dollars. I will be more than glad to help you out. I will also be willing to go in on some. Feel free to e-mail, or instant message me.

Can do buddy, would be more than glad to check on that this week. I may be able to let you know as soon as tomorrow. Maybe you can answer my Brown algae question. I want to get ride of it on my substrate, and live rock. I have 20 watt actnic bulb, and daylight bulb, dual hood. I just cycled 2 days ago

trentfish,
You don't need to hurry, I'm not going to be setting up my larger aquarium for a couple months yet. I just thought that if I found the sand I could go ahead and start picking it up. That way I wouldn't have as large of an expense later.
I am also a newbie, but I'll try to answer your question.
After my tank started developing the brown alagae, I got 2 mexican turbo snails and 6 dwarf blue legged hermit crabs (my LFS called them Blue Algae HCs) and they have done a bang up job of cleaning everything up. I've got just a couple small spots of algae on my glass, but I saw the snails working on that today.
I have learned so much from this site. I just wish that I'd found it before I started my aquarium, there would have been a couple things that I would have done differently. (ie the sand rather than CC)
But, I'm already working on a larger aquarium to be put up later this summer. :joy:
Of course, this is driving my wife nuts!! She wanted one also, but I don't think that she thought I'd get into it so much!! :cheer:

That's cool phipps, I didn't get a chance to check into today. BUSY BUSY. Your story sounds a lot like mine. I never dreamed I would like this hobby so much. I have learned a lot, and I am so eager to learn more. My girlfriend loves it just as much as I do. As a matter of fact, I have to calm her down at times on wanting to buy fish. She wants to push our luck on the quanity. I showed her what happens today. Her yellow tang has ich, and is beginning to get fin rot. I would have a large tank if I weren't in this apartment.
I'll talk at ya later

beaslbob, why dont you just shut up and quit telling people BS!!! Just because you choose not to use good sand for a DSB doesnt mean you can shove it down other peoples throats. Dejay, do a search on DSB and you will find there is a BIG difference in the types of sand that should be used for SW. It will only prove again what a jack##s beaslbob is. Obviously beaslbob cant do much of anything right-his tank setup and spelling for starters.:notsure:
