best place to get substrate?

[Jack]

hey, going down to vancouver in about a month. looking at maybe buying 100$ worth of aragonite for my tank. Where's the cheapest place to get it? Thanks guys

[DJ88]

I'd say J&L. I don't know of anywhere that carries it for the prices they have. Others may be able to add to this.

[Jack]

Yeah thanks, J&L is where I was headed, but I was just wondering if there were any places that people know to get it cheaper. Or if there is anyone out with some lying around.

Powerreef has some in Washington for relatively cheap, but it might not be worth the drive. I will be down there in February and could bring some back if it is worked out before hand.

images/smiles/icon_smile.gif i could sell you some of my aragonite gravel or sugar size for 0.75$/lb and willing to ship it.
if interested tell me and i will try to take a picture for you. images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Hey scott, thanks for the offer. Not sure if that would be a huge pain in the butt for you though. I don't really want to make tonnes of extra work for you, but it's your call. I will be in vancouver around the end of feb/begining of march, so I could pick it up and pay you. Let me know what you think.

Also, Eli, thanks for the offer. But at 0.75$ per pound (which is a pretty good deal) I'm sure the shipping would add up and turn out to be the same cost as if I were to get it here.

Thanks guys, you are a big help

Ok, anyone been to King Ed's latley and know the price of aragonite?

You can also try King Ed's in Burnaby.

hey scott is that the sand you were referring to previously when you told me to skip the Arag Alive?

I would be interested in talking to you if you are making a run down there.

Hey boys all the sand got swallowed up. I posted a thread to see if anyone wanted some but no one replied, so i figured you were all ok. If you have a couple people that want it post here and tell me I could order more if you guys really need it.

Hi,

I think aragonite gravel costs 75 cents a pound (bulk) from Big Als.
