Where to buy new sand?

[Honda619]

Just wondering if anyone has found a good place and price for new sand?

Looking for dry but not opposed to some live sand...I'm going to be setting up a new tank soon and need to figure this part out.

I'm not really interested in getting someones old sand because I'd rather not be worried about the unforeseen consequences down the road.

Anyone have any ideas on what to expect for price on dry in the valley or online?

Thanks in advance!

Aragonite from petco.

Is petco cheaper than a LFS?

Have not been to one in a long time so I have no idea.

$8 for a 10 pound bag.

I have this sand in my tank -- got it for "free" when ordering rock from them. I like it a lot but I'd still wash it because I found some twigs, etc. in mine.

Tropic Eden Reeflakes are popular too. Not sure if anyone carries in locally.

I really liked the pieces that he picked out. Not sure if he's still doing this but, at the time, I shot him an email with some aquascaping ideas and he hand selected rock for me. I thought that was great customer service.

I gave the rock a quick muriatic bath and soaked in RODI for a few days. I'm very happy with it and it's hard to beat the price!
