Dan,
Southdown is pure aragonite sugar sized sand. Same as carib-sea or aragamax just sold as play sand so it's cheaper just hard to find around here. That's basically what I'm using in my fuge.

I can use one but wouldn't be able to pick up until some point next week if someone is willing to get it for me.

Dan,

Southdown is exactly the same thing as Carib-Sea. We had a guy that worked for Southdown in our group in NC that got it for us. The difference is package size and price. Southdown is sold for playgrounds. If you read the fine print on the bag it says "not for aquarium use." Hah! You can buy the 50 lb. bag cheaper than the 20 lb. bag of Carib-Sea. One is marketed as a commodity, the other as a specalty product. Sorta like that high dollar buffer that you can buy for $1 at HEB.

have you already dropped the Fiji LR off at Tim Marvin?

Jenn
Fri, 26th Dec 2003, 10:23 AM
I hope we can get a group order later on. I would be willing to hold some @ my house, but I am not going to be in Austin today, also don't have space cleared for 30+ bags.
Cody, are you only going as far as Round Rock?

dan
Fri, 26th Dec 2003, 01:16 PM

OK guys, and gals, I have the rock and the sand. You guys need to get all the money together and Pay Pal Cody as soon as you can! Don't forget this is a business for him and he doesn't extend credit. He dropped the sand here for the benefit of the club so lets get him paid. I have rock for $2.25 a lbs this week and $3.00 a lbs next week. Not really heavy corraline growth, but still very nice shapes. Excellent rock at this price! Hurry while I'm still in the holiday spirit....LOL........

alexwolf

TexasState
Fri, 26th Dec 2003, 05:25 PM
Cody,
I'll pick two bags from Tim Marvin next week. Please let me know your paypal address to send the payment.
Joshua and others,
I'll take up to 5 bags back to San Marcos if someone wants to pick it up from my place before January 11th. I will only pick up the sands that has been paid for in advance.

Tim Marvin
Fri, 26th Dec 2003, 08:48 PM
One lump sum would be best. Josh, since you started this thread can you collect? Then we can make it easy for Cody to do business with the club. If it gets to complicated for him to collect he may just decide not to sell to us.

Jenn

I am waiting to find out how to pay, and then I will also make a trip up. I can also grab up to 5 extra bags that have been paid for. I am located 7 miles E of NB, but its still closer than N Austin. Please let me know if you would be interested, and thanks Cody and Tim for making this work out.

I have an extra bag I'll trade for one of the 55Watts Half10K/Half Actinic Power Compact bulb that you're selling (provided that your bulb fit into my fixture.) PLease let me know if you want to trade, and I'll go check on the size.

Tim Marvin

I still have 3 unclaimed bags in my garage. I'll have to check the list of who paid to find out who is not picking them up. I may sell them though if they don't pick them up soon.
