that ended up not being aragonite

I got mine in downers grove.

I went in to the Gurnee store after calling around to see which stores had the old castle stone aragonite play sand. You have to be persistent and get ahold of the gardening dept. manager to get the transfer to happen. Once you locate it within the market (greater Chicagoland area) it can be tranferred between stores at no additional charge. I got 15 bags.

Yeah I think thats the one, its the one near the arbys and the dead kmart. Kinda near deep reef. They told me they get it every spring. But that was a while ago.

I got mine at Randall/Algonquin Home Depot a couple of years ago.

Thanks

I used to call on Home Depots in Illinois and Wisconsin and I was told they stoped carrying it last year. I've been in quite a few over the past year and a half and have never seen it. Good Luck

Please post if you find it around Chicago, I've been trying to find some of this forever

Why dont someone do a group buy and order an entire pallet? I am sure with all the interest you could make it work.

 

[Whaledriver]

Start this thread in wisconson, indiana and ohio areas and you should find some.

I could be wrong, but I am under the impression that the plant that they used to package from was wiped out in last years hurrican season. (That may also be the reason that they are no packing silica, but i didnt think that silica was a suitable play sand? ).. Its justsomething I heard through the caulerpa vine, so take it for what its worth

I'd be in for a few bags if someone gets a pallet order together.

I would order a whole pallet and pay for it all upfront. But who would sell to us?
I can't get a hold of YardRight and HD doesn't have any idea what i'm talking about.
I found contact info for OldCastle, But what is the name of the aragonite sand? They sell a few different types.
