Honestly, I don't know, but if anyone knows a place to get good, cheap aragonite sand that is oolitic hopefully they will say where and what price.....looking for some soon myself.

So oolitic sand is the same thing as sugar but a bit bigger right?

oolitic means egg shaped.
make sure to soak new sand in RO/DI water for two weeks before introducing to your tank, changing RO/DI water every two days, to get rid of Po4, or when test shows zero Po4.
