I assume you know to check at Home Depot, right?

Home Depot won't do you any good in New Orleans. SouthDown does not have distribution to the South. They go as far as the northern part of VA. They are a PA company. Only reason I know all this is from talking with consumer affairs at the corporate office of HD. They say it is not available in the southern stores, only the NE. PITA it is!!

There is some excellent live sand available at Coral Connection in Kenner, La. near the airport. Do you know about that place?

YEAH I WORK FOR GEORGE OVER AT CORAL CONNECTION. I AM JUST THINKING OF TRYING THIS STUFF OUT TO SEE WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. I HAVE A 90 GALLON SET UP WITH LIVE SAND FROM WORK. BUT I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH THESE NEW SYSTEMS.

he charges 2.35 a lb. but if you say you saw it on the internet he will sell it for 1.99 a lb.
