Sand?

Anyone know a place to buy bulk aragonite sand. Looking for about 300 pounds and rather not pay for the small 15 pound bags.

Going to be looking for about 150 lbs as well. Been looking at lowes etc but they only have one type of playsand(silicone).

I have been searching for a while now. I skimed through Miami and Palm Beach, Florida earlier this year. Bahama stoped exporting for a while but looks like there are a couple of companies that are approved to export aragonite back to the states. I have not found the importer yet.

Hmm I wonder if we could buy a pallet of this stuff as a group buy and if it would save enough to cover shipping and still come out ahead. Just a thought
