Not necessarily...they had it at all the HD's in Chicago (where I've lived for the past 6 years). I just moved back to my hometown, in Southern IL and the HD here does not have it and they say they cant order it for me either...that's why I was forced to go back to using aragonite.
I am from Southern illinois, my family still lives there. Around Carbondale, murphysboro, in a lil town named Ava.

I've never tried the "fine grain" stuff because I was worried about it turning into a sand storm. Even tho I keep only pred. tanks, I still like ALOT of flow in them.
The "medium grain" will still get pushed around by the current, sometimes, but it'll eventually settle...it's also compact enough to give you a nice, impenetrable sand bed, keeping detrius on the top.
