LS is super-expensive. Only buy a few pounds. Buy 4" of Southdown or aragonite sand from a hardware store for a fraction of the price and "seed" it with the LS. After six months, you'll have a several-hundred-dollar DSB.

Now I have a question. I'm looking for Southdown or aragonite sand in my area. Is Southdown a type of an aragonite or a brand name of an aragonite?
