What kind of store is that?

 

[broncofish]

I found it at a sand and gravel supply place(duh, why did I not look there before) They sell it in a white burlap bag, the same kind of bags myf LFS sells there white aragonite sand in; coincidence I think not. about 4 bucks for 50lbs. I still have not seen it yet though sadly my buddies alternator siezed up, and I am in the middle of fixing it. Why god oh why am I mechanicaly inclined Why couldn't I be naturaly good looking, or a super financial whiz?

Ok the sand is a bust. Lighter than quickcrete, but still to dark for reef tanks. Back to the drawing boards.

Give it one more bump, for all those who are interested, or to dissapoint all the NO Cal people

One of my LFS found some Yardright Playsand-and they are selling if for $20 a bag. Good mark-up, and they didn't like when I told them it was bad business to do such a thing.
