Is there a cheaper alternative for a sandbed?

[jkhudson]

I want to redo my tank including the sand bed. Is there a cheaper sand alternative than loading the car up with bags from the fish store? You used to be able to get stuff from Home Depot but they don't sell it anymore.

How much do you need?

They don't sell it anymore, tried like heck to find a good alternative when I setup the new system, didn't find one. Pavestone, was a great substitute and they changed what was in it this year, I ended up buying new. The only cheap alternative at this point is to find sand someone is throwing out, clean the heck out of it and use that.
