Interested in Aragonite?
I am looking at ordering a half-pallet of aragonite sand for a group of people. Is anyone interested in getting in on the order? I need people to speak for about 15 bags by 4-19-04 to do this.
Depending on the number of people, the total price including shipping should be $20/bag for aquarium grade aragonite. THIS IS NOT SOUTHDOWN FROM HD. Regular price on this stuff is about $25-30 per bag.
I live in Oakdale, MN right where 94 & 694 meet on the East side of the cities. You pick up from my place. Reply if you are interested.

Each bag is 40 lbs.
They say it's about 90lbs per cubic foot. There's several sandbed calculators on the web that you can input your dimensions and that 90lbs/ CF to see what you want.

Sorry, I missed your Q about size.
It's aragonite sand and "Grain sizes vary from 0.18 to 1.2mm"

The sand made it to the regional shipping warehouse on friday night after hours. The shipping company called yesterday morning to setup a final delivery window. I have a home delivery date setup for wednesday AM, so Whenever you want to pick up after that, should be OK.
I typically work until 4:00/4:30pm and go to bed around 10:30-midnight. Here's some tentatively available pickup dates for you to choose from
Wed (4-28) - after 5:00
Thurs (4-29) -after 5:00
Saturday (5-1) - Morning
Sunday (5-2) - Evening
These are just some suggestions I have open the rest of the week. Next week works too if you can't make it soon. PM me with when you want to stop by so I can make sure I am there.
If nothing else you could pay me with paypal and then I'd just leave your bags behind my garage for pickup at your convenience.
