Thread: Good Deal on Sand?

  1. #1

    Question Good Deal on Sand?

    All,

    I was price shopping sand for my 90 gallon and came across this from Petsmart: http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...ductId=2753226

    It is the CaribSea Aragonite Seaflor Special Grade Reef Sand and is $26.99 but what makes the deal really good is that shipping is only $2.99 for 3 bags.

    Anyways, just thought I would pass it on...

    It is very big grit though.. used it in one of my tanks and hated it... threw it in the trash about a week later... Just my opinion though...

    They have it in their store for the same price.

    Cool... I will see if I can find it in the stores if I decide to go with the aragonite.

    I got Carib Sea fiji from Alamo Aquatics at two 20lbs bags for $29.99, or 50% off each bag. That was two months ago but when I expressed a desire to get my sand before the sale ended the owner stated that he had several pallets of in the back.

    It's not the sugar fine sand but I've always liked it because it doesn't make as much a mess. Just depends on what type of sand you like in your system. It does range from sugar size to the larger pieces throughout the bag just so you know that it's not a consistent size.
