Found some tropical play sand...

[montero]

The Home Depot in Reading, PA sells Old Castle silica free tropical play sand. 50lbs - 4.99.

At least that's what the guy on the phone said. I'll be going there tomorrow to get some.

Very cool! Send me some!

Is this better that "aragonite reef sand"?

[BillyZ]

it is one in the same.

If you pay for it, I'll get you some.

Thanks, but I live in Dallas...the shipping would be crazy.

I live in the Dallas area as well. I am in the process of looking around right now. I will let you know if I find any as well.

If you do find some, post it in the sticky in this forum so everyone sees it:

I haven't verified this but I have been told that amateur astronomers often use Greyhound to ship large telescopes because it costs considerably less. Of course you couldn't ship live rock or fish this way (and expect them to survive) but it might be a cheap way to ship sand.

I hope you received the correct sand. i have given UPC and sku # for Home depot
SKU # 488-8887 Yardright Tropical Playsand

Two friends (not SWA people) have purchased this sand at Home depot. I now have 8 bags of the wrong sand. What a bunch of morons at HD!!
