Some Home Depots will order it from another store. Get the SKU, talk to the store manager, and don't say you're using it for an aquarium. You may get lucky and have a helpful manager.

I'm located in Northern Cali (Sacramento area) and I'm trying to find a Home Depot/Lowes that carries play sand that I can use to start my 60 Gal. SW tank. I hear the right type is only found on the East Coast. Help please.

If anyone finds an online source, PM me a URL - I need a couple hundred pounds for my new 180.

I just bought 10 bags of white play sand at Wally World! It's branded "Kolor Scape" and distributed by Old Castle. 2.98 for a 40# bag $32 for 400 lbs of sand!
They have palllets full of the stuff!

Is it agragate based or is it silicate based

 

[roka64]

One way to tell is use vinegar. Pour some on it and it should fizzle or foam up....

 

[Sadielynn]

Yea but I dont wanna buy it and not have it work .And with all the road shut downs here going to walmart is a PITB

 

[roka64]

I took vinegar with me to Wal-Mart, Lowes and HD and tested them all there...

 

[Scooby]

I did the vinegar test before I bought it. It fizzed like Alka-Seltzer!

 

[Devilishturtles]

The kolorscape sand has been popular on these forums it seems, and people have had good luck with it. I think it's going to slowly take over in the way that Southdown did.

Regardless if it's aragonite based or not, still fine for the tank. If you find a sand that you like that is silicate based, go for it. I agree aragonite is better, but I don't think it's mandatory.

OFF to wally world I go
