Southdown / Yardright / castle something?

[Grav]

It has been a while, what are we doing for home depot type sand these days and where is it?

 

Last time it was tractor supply in Manassas. Still good?

 

Thanks

Really? 27 views and nobody knows?

It was my understanding that the sands now are silica based.

Southdown has seemingly disappeared from the market. Occasionally a bag or two comes up, but not any consistent supply that I am aware of.

 

Borneman and Calfo are having a discussion about sands on marinedepot (http://forum.marinedepot.com/Topic59884-13-1.aspx), but I haven't really been following it.

 

Steven Pro just bought sand for his greenhouse aquaculture system from http://www.aragonitesource.com. He hasn't posted any analysis/opinion of the sand yet. It looks like this is for commercial use, so I think it would only work as a really big group buy (they talk about truck load or ship load on their website).

As of December, no, it was not. I went to about a dozen places in Prince William, Fairfax, and Loudon County and all of them had silica based sand.

 

I wanted the fine sand for my 120, but settled with the reef floor (?) argonite sand sold at many of the LFS.

Now that might be worthy of a GB!
