I hear and read about people using SouthDown Sand from Home Depot. You can also order sand from some of the online stores as well as get some from your friendly LFS. Just remember to get Argonite sand since that works the best and is a natural Calcium buffer.

Ken,
Not sure where Shumway is, but I know a guy in Springfield who has a few pallets of southdown for sale. He charges $15 / 50lbs bag, but hey it is sure cheaper than carib sea ect, if you are interested respond back with your email and I will send you his email.
