hey
i cant "okay" your shopping list or anything,
but from my experience so far and from other members.. its fairly hard to find the southdown sand. they say you can get it at home depot, but ive been to a few to check prices and cant find it.
as for the ro/di water unit-
i asked a lot of ?? about that yesterday and everyone highly recommended getting one, if you have the extra cash.
otherwise you can make several trips to the store to buy it for somewhere around .25 / gallon
im getting ready to set up a 55 and i'm going to get 2 maxi jets becuase thats what everyon told me
we're in the same boat because ive been asking the same questions as you, except i still dont have my tank yet

why would i buy southdown sand from home depot over argonite sand or are they the same thing?
lbg4life01

so southdown is a brand name of argonite sand that everyone likes to use
Like heniz compared to other ketchups

so basically if i cant find southdown sand anyway, i can buy arganite (any brand) from the pet store at a higher price but it would still work.

I have checked on the sand from home depot.
They do no carry aragonite sand. They do carry play sand at 2.69 per lb. I would think that this is not the correct sand right?
Where else can i get argonite sand at beside the pet store?
