extreme_tooth_decay October 25, 2005 Share October 25, 2005 Hi Does anyone know if Yardright "Tropical Play Sand" (Not the "White Play Sand") is available anywhere? I went to Southern States in Manassas and they just have the White Play Sand which does not pass the vinegar test. I'm setting up a 125 and would much prefer the aragonite sand. Anyone have a source? thanks tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

extreme_tooth_decay October 25, 2005 Author Share October 25, 2005 I'm looking for the stuff that costs like $3-4 for a 40# bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Jake October 25, 2005 Share October 25, 2005 call Centreville Aquarium and other LFS to see if they carry them before venturing out to look for them, you know since GAS prices are high. it may sound ironic, but have you tried PETCO in Herndon at Clock Tower Shopping Center?

extreme_tooth_decay October 25, 2005 Author Share October 25, 2005 What I'm lookong for isn't sold at aquarium or pet stores. It's bulk sand which is usually found at hardware stores and garden supply stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folta October 25, 2005 Share October 25, 2005 I'm looking for the same thing, as I've got to put sand in my 180 gallon soon, and defintely do not want to pay the premium cost for those 15# bags @ $20-30 each... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwildman October 25, 2005 Share October 25, 2005 Heya, The ONLY place that I have found that has the sand is Dr. Mac's. I have looked around the Northern VA area for months and did not find any. Dr. Mac is selling the Southdown Tropical Playsand for $6 per 40lbs bag. I used 5 for 180Gallon. I did not try John at the Koi place as I was not aware of him at the time. Good Luck, John I'm looking for the same thing, as I've got to put sand in my 180 gallon soon, and defintely do not want to pay the premium cost for those 15# bags @ $20-30 each... 43203[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybv October 25, 2005 Share October 25, 2005 I can get real marine sand for you in 40 # bags, but not at $4 a bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbashaw October 26, 2005 Share October 26, 2005 I have about 200lbs of it that I'm not going to use. I would be willing to trade it for some macro algae, a pound or 2 of live sand, a frag or anything else you may have, but I will be out town all next week (going to Sea world) so we would have to meet after then. PM me if you're interested. I'm in Germantown MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
