Ace hardware in paradise has 50 lb dolomite aglime (damn close to arag in composition) for 5.99$
i am using it for my MMLR and will soon be switching out my sandbed in my display. i am doing some quicky testing on it to make sure it doesnt contain any nasties. i will post the results on our new site. chicoreefclub.org.

i found some but need more. i still have plenty of time as i have to get my new stand built and polish the tank. my first priority right now is getting everthing unpacked and setup at the new house.

I don't know how many pounds I have, but it's a big bucket full, I don't recall if it's a 4 gallon or a 5, but it is large. I took the tank down this afternoon (Chanelle's aquarium) and the sand is available. How much would you pay for that? It covered the bottom of a 50 hex aquarium about 3" deep.
