I have 45lbs of live sand for sale. I'm in the process of shutting down my 29 gallon FOWLR tank so i'll let it go for $30. Let me know if you are interested.

home depot sells pulverized limestone. it comes in a back w/ Deco or something like that on the cover, but it's from pavestone (i think).
It is not the pelatized stuff, but the pulverized stuff... it's almost pure white... contents read like this.
calcium
magn
calcium carb
magn carb
calcium oxide
magn oxide
I double checked w/ Dr. Shimek on it, and he said it should be fine but recommended I do a small test of the stuff in salt water to see it's influence on ph, kH and ca levels...
btw, it's $3 per 50lbs... :-)
