Petco Sand

BLUESMAN · 07-07-2001, 02:55 PM

I thought I'd pass along some info I saw yest..Petco stores have 25# bags of argonite sand for $15 a bag.It is sugar gain and comes from the Phillipines.They also carry a live sand variety,but I'm not to keen to buying live sand that has a shelf life of 9 monthes.Anyway anyone on the west coast should look for this sand...it is not in every Petco store.Just a heads up!.....The BLUESMAN

Seems to be only in the Southwest area's of the US. I have not been able to get my local petco to order it up.

Bluesman,

Is this Petco sand made by "Aquatic Gardens" by any chance as I have a few bags of this stuff myself.
