I've always purchased at my lfs because the prices are almost the same with shipping.

I am ordering my sand from Marco Rocks. I like their coarse grade sand.

Try reefrocks.net if your also in the market for dry rock. Its $15 for 40lb with the purchase of $50+ in dry rock. The sand is washed.

Honestly I would steer you away from Marco. The reason I need sand is because i'm siphoning all the marco rocks "sand" out of my tank. Its more like clay/silt with some sand grains thrown in. I cleaned it the best I could before i added it, and the clay/silt particles haven't settled in 2 weeks

+1, with shipping costs I have found that it runs the same price. I usually just buy Fiji pink from my lfs.

Amazon has some really good prices on Carib Sea.
