Carib Sea or South Down sand locally
Anyone know where I can get a bag or two of Carib Sea Aragonite or South Down sand locally in the LaCrosse area?
Thanks

I've looked for southdown...don't think you'll find it anywhere unless someone has a supply purchased long ago. They changed manufactures/dig sites, name, etc. Matt at Olde Town Pets might have Carib Sea...I think he did a while ago. Dr. F&S has a good price and the shipping is reasonable for such a heavy load. If you're in IA you don't pay tax too!

Olde Towne is on Caledonia St in La Crosse, he is open on Sunday after 11:00 or 12:00 I can't remember for sure, I am pretty sure he carries Carib Sea.

I personally don't I know you could get it from either Menards or Home Depot. Where in IA are you? I am in Caledonia MN.

The only place that I found that has weldon is an acrylic business (forgot the name) by the airport. They only had the #4 (I think) when I went there. That is the really thin stuff. It works fine for perfect seams, but if there is even a little gap it won't fill it. You need #16 for that. Matt

Cary,
Just through Caledonia last weekend. Got sidetracked coming back from LaCrosse doing some Christmas shopping. I'll let you know when I'm back through.
Hansmatt,
You're right. I need #16. I might try to order it. Thanks

It sounds like I've been to the same place (over by the airport) as Matt in the past to get Weld-On #4, and Matt is correct, they don't have #16.
