Ah, I see. HD is probably carrying something different the stuff I'm used to seeing at the pool supply stores.

Go here: http://www.clemtex.com/ and get a back of their Black Beauty sand blasting sand. It's wonderful stuff, and cheap! It's got iron in it, but I don't know if it's available to the plants or not. I've been using it in small tanks with good results and just replaced the substrate in two of my larger tanks with it. Visit my blog vis the link in my signature for pictures of tanks I just redid with it.

Clemtex carries three sizes: #6 super fine, really too fine in my opinion, but the fish store owner I learned about it from uses this size. #4 is close to sand, and #3 is closer to gravel. It's $13 for 100lb bag.

I'd love to get the Turface Pro Gray -but can't seem to find any Lesco with it in stock -does anyone happen to know of any Lesco's with it available? Their site is very aggravating and 1/2 the time it comes back with errors....

Thanks

If you purchase one unit on the site, it should automatically give you the option for local pickup, then they will send it to the closest Lesco in your area. The people there will act funny for receiving only one bag rather than a pallet, but that's how we were all doing it with SMS a year or so ago.

There are other places that carry it, you just have to finsd a way to get one bag, most places want to sell the stuff by the pallet. My local John Deer equipment rental place has Turface grey but won't sell me just one bag.

As Jaidexl states, they do act funny about getting only one item, but they CAN do it.

Some of the ones I called were less than thrilled with the one item transfer but they still did it.

I couldn't get the website to take an order for one bag - came back check availability. But I did find SMS Charcoal still available at the Plan John Deere Landscape so I snagged a bag. For those interested I believe they still have some....just $15.00 and change.
