Hi folks I'm new to your board, and I dont live in canada, but I did for about 20 years (North Delta). I'm in Washington st. just down the road from you. Anyway I have a contact for Argonite sand. it is the equivant to carib sea. that most of us in the US use for deep sand beds. The price is 17.00 us per 40 lbs bag If you people need some maybe I can help you guys out.

Ps. I dont sell the stuff but we have a hard time getting sand to on the west coast so I ordered a skid for myself and fellow reefers down here.

Hey dj88 no its not southdown. I tend to stay away from Southdown for fears of cross contamination for other products and metals. This product is called pure Carribean aragonite and is made just for the aquarium industry.it is uniform graded sand particles sized between approximately 0.18 and 1.2mm. Away we have a hard time getting sand to, so like i said i bought about 2800 lbs. I need 500 lbs for my tank and thier is a bunch of people knocking on the door. Anyway it cost me about 17.00 us for a forty pound bag. I live about 20 miles south of Seattle. I could try and save you some.

Thats right, I remember now, we through a few surrey jokes back and forth. How are you doing

Shadetree · #27 01-09-2002, 10:38 PM

I am doing pretty good, we now have a little sister for the newf

Good to hear about the sand, there are a lot of reefers up here that could probably use some. You are setting up a 280 right?

hey shad beautiful newf. They are great dogs. I will try to save as much as i can but people are just stock piling it. I geuss if you can get a few people together I could always order you another skid. I'm sure the Border wont know if its can or us bought.

yeah, i think that stuff you are talking about it what i saw on that webpage www.purearagonite.com. It's really cheap but the shipping to bring it out here.... the cost would be the same at JL or something. I would actually be interested in some sand to. you have no idea how hard it is to get cheap stuff out here. DSB's cost so much and its just sand! The stores think it's white gold.
