WTB: Live Sand

[scaast]

Anybody have any or know of a cheap place to get some? Looking for oolitic/fine grade. Need enough for a 20L. Thanks.

Reef and Pond has some for $1 lbs. They have a tub in the back with about 50-60lbs of fine grade sugar sand.

Just buy "dry" sand from any LFS or online vendor. Then add a pound or so of live sand from your LFS or friendly neighborhood reefer. The live sand will quickly seed the remainder of your sand bed and you'll be fine.

I'll even volunteer to be the friendly neighborhood reefer and give you some "seed" sand if you have some "new" sand to trade.

Where is reef and pond located?

On Santa Fe just south of Evans. You can probably get a better deal if you buy more. They were supposed to get in the dry last friday. but you probably can get the live for the same price if not less. It looks good and clean. He said they recycle the sand from the coral tanks. Here is a link with Ph#:
