southdown sand

[CKreef]

Does anyone need sand for their tank? I found some at a hardware store in Arkansas that says they will ship. If I order more than 3 bags the shipping goes way down. I think this is right anyways. When I added 3 bags with shipping it was over $79. When i did it with 4 bags it changed to standard shipping and only cost $25. Please check this out maybe im doing something wrong. If not i will be ordering some so if you need some we can make one order. Here is the link

I did the leg work for Home Depot and finally found a store that had some. Then I called my local Home Depot and asked if they would have it transferred from that store to here (Hickory Hollow) and they did. No charge. I paid regular price for the sand. (6 bags)

what leg work did you do?

 

[coral_reefer_25]

I just located a Home Depot that had it and got their store number, and the SKU number for the sand.

 

[CKreef]

any idea where you found it?

 

[coral_reefer_25]

Looking back at my old post from Reef Aquarium Guide, I found it at a Home Depot in Lexington, KY. The Home Depot SKU # 578-819.

The Lexington Home Depot is the one on Richmond Road. (859) 269-4774

And the girl at the Hickory Hollow Home Depot is Christina. This was three years ago, but she still works there because I see her every now and then when I go in there. The number to that location is (615) 731-2900.

There....just did the leg work for you.

[CKreef]

[coral_reefer_25]

The link doesn't work for me.

 

[CKreef]

Are you sure that stuff is silica free?

 

[CKreef]

trying to find out why cant you use silica based?

 

[coral_reefer_25]

silica based sand feeds algae. Southdown is aragonite. I've got 5 bags of Southdown upstairs, but I was planning to use it in a future 75g tank....althought that's going to be quite some time from now.
