Canton Road Garden Center in Akron.

Check out the thread below. I think they are out and will not have it in till spring. You would have to call. They keep it in back just for reefers.

You do know it has not been called southdown in a while. I thing the name of it now is Yardright or something. The Cleveland forum is the best place to ask these questions in my opinion.

You should also look into joining C-SEA.

It is worth it I think.

I'll make a post in the cleveland forum.

I did call the Canton Road Garden Center. She knew what I was talking about but didn't know when or if they would be getting more in.

I'm planning on joining at the next monthly meeting. It looks like a great group.

So what would be the best way to try and get some in North Carolina?? Id like to get some for my 55 gallon before I start with CC.

I also heard that Old Castle is the same stuff. Anyone able to verify this?
Should I use only this for my dsb? or mix it with some other sand?

This is correct, many people have reported that it is no longer sold as "Southdown" but is now marketed under the nameS "Old Castle" and "Yard right"

Still looking for 250 to 300 pounds of this stuff.

[WaterKeeper]

Ahhh, to be a Canadian. Maybe you guys will export some?

 

[Superorb]

Who, Canadians will export some? I thought this stuff came from the Bahamas.
