>>I am looking for Southdown Play Sand that used to be sold at Home Depot store specifically. Do you have any leftover bags to verify what you have used?<<
Xoomer,
I do not know what kind of sand it is. However, I do know this sand came from Home Depot many years ago.
The reason, is I had my landscaper put in a large area of play sand with a swing set for my kids.
PS. You have to be kidding about saving a bag. I can not verify what kind of sand it is. Only that it was sand that I think my landscaper used when he bought the supplies to build my swing set area.

Xoomer,
This sand has been in my back yard for over 10 years. My kids no longer use the playground area.
However, having a sandpit play area was a great idea. My kids had ton s of fun. Many of my neighbors' kids would not want to play with their swing sets. It seems the sand pit where the kids can play was a big attraction.
So at this point, having my kids outgrown the swing set, I am not too worried.

Not a rummor. Both Southdown and Carib-Sea were getting the sand from the same supplier down in FL. Carib-Sea was selling to reefers while Southdown was selling the same exact sand as safe playsand (100% aragonite, 0% silica). Carib-Sea learned that people like you and I found out about Southdown and because of their non-compete agreement with the supplier forced Southdown to mark their bags "Not For Aquarium Use". Little later Southdown was bought over by mexican company CEMEX (cement manufacturer) and they just never carried the sand again. Home depot had to find another supplier but the sand is completely different.
i went searching for this about 2 months ago. .. no luck. try getting sand from someone getting out the hobby. it will be the next cheapest option.
ps, u might want to look up a similar product on the boards. i forgot the name but it was something like pavestone limestone. do a search on the popular reef site for alternative southdown.

Southdown/YardRight has been the holy grail for a couple years now.
If you find any I'll take a few bags, as would probably everybody in the area. I remember a guy from ManhattanReefs was going to drive to Pittsburg or somewhere to get a pallet a year or so ago, but someone else beat him to it.
