Anyone know of any places in Austin that carry that Pavestone pulverized limestone? I can't seem to find any...
Thanks!

Got my Pavestone Pulverized Limestone at Home Depot.
You have to look around in the cement area or garden supply.
I asked and was told they didn't carry it.
I found it myself after searching.

I got mine from the HD on Parmer and 1431 (Cedar Park). They had two pallets of it, but that was a couple of months ago. I would definately call first.

No cycle. They are just sterile (sand animal wise) sand, you need to add seed sand to turn it into live sand

Well I went hunting for this again today and the home depot in temple didnt have it and so I decided to stop by a few other places and I got some of the weirdest looks in my life. :rofl: When I told them it was for a aquarium they keep telling me to go to the fish store. LOL So I think I will just have to try looking for it at the home depot in austin. I contacted pavestone and they said that the hd there should carry it as a stock item. If anyone in austin stops by a homedepot anytime soon if you dont mind taking a look to see if they have it and let me know I would greatly apreciated it. The closest thing that I could find is something called austin white lime. But this stuff is more like a flower texture. I think I am going to drive myself crazy looking for this stuff.

You may want to rinse it first or soak it in old tank water prior to put it into your tank. It can cause clowdy water for 1 week to 10 days. Other than that, it will be fine for the fish and corals.
