have you tried looking for southdown? i think it's aragonite, but i can't remember for sure. it's like $4-$8 for a 50lb bag.

Check Home Depot for Southdown Tropical Play Sand. It will be in the garden section, not the brick and mortar section

Thanks all, will check HD. That would be great if they carry it.

Do a lil research I dont think It sells by the name SOUTHDOWN anymore (I could be wrong). Search on RC youll get a pic of the bag and the new name. LAst time I found a few bags it was at the HD by Flushing Meadow park. GOOD LUCK.

o yea, i should mention to everyone. i found yardright at "garden world" on francis lewis blvd in queens. i read it's just as good as southdown and old castle. i completely forgot that i saw it there. but they probably won't get any of that sand in until the spring.

the hd off route 80 has tropical playsand, exit 63 or 64, i think 63 is a better exit.they're 40 pound bags i believe.i have a bunch of bags from there, they cost me about $5 dollars a bag (4.98 to be exact).but i doubt any of this would be useful to you, i just noticed you live on LI.

Going to try the local HD's first. I hope I dont have to wait till spring. Thanks again all.
