Has Southdown ever been available in the Chicago area?

[dobish]

I have about 40 bags +/- (I'd have to count to be exact) that I picked up awhile ago that I'd be willing to part with. I'm located in Oshkosh, WI. Contact me at dobish@charter.net if you're interested.

I know for a fact that some of this sand a year or so ago was being unloaded in New Jersey. I dont know how it is being used or sold. It is used in concrete mostly.

If you can find someone to put an eye on it in a Home Depo somewhere you can get the pallet transfered to a store near you. Just remember that they use the same upc for differant sand in different regions.

The only way to know you are getting the right stuff from HD is use the UPC code on the package. Here is the info for Southdown play sand.

Thats a great printout!
I would still be careful of home depo selling sand that isnt calcium based with the same upc#.

I have 500 lbs of southdown that you can have for free.
I'm moving both of my tanks and will not need the sand.

I live in Aurora, near I-88 & Rt 59.
PM me for my address and to set-up a time to pick-up.

I'll take it.

The sand I have is Live sand. The system is still running and the sandbed is healthy and filled with life.

PM me if you are interested in Live sand. I have about 300 lbs remaining. FREE, just bring a bucket

Is anyone going up to dobish to pick up some in WI and live an hour or less away from Oswego? If so, I would be willing to give you $10/bag for your troubles.

I'm at 59 and ogden, hoping to pick some of that live sand up....

dobish is the guy in WI that actually has southdown sitting around, not the live sand in aurora.

That wouldn't be so funny if I hadn't actually tried to keep some calerpa in my main tank. You cannot keep SOME.
