I can get Yard Right which is the same as South Down, I have used it in my tank. It is Great. What are you willing to trade or pay if interested? I can get it for about $6 a bag for a 50 lb bag.
Let me know if interested.

Be careful about Yardright, it's filled locally/regionally. For example, the local Walmart's have Yardright playsand too, but it's from somewhere like Texarkanna or in Louisanna. Look on the back of the bag, it'll say where it's bagged at.

I have heard from others, that if it says tropical play sand from the caribbean, then it is the same as southdown.

I can get 10 bags for you, however, I went to get me some yesterday and the bags are 40 lbs bags instead of 50 lbs bags if that makes a difference. Just wanted to let you know.
Let me know when you would like to meet or if you want to just come by and pick it up.
Also if you are wanting to trade or just buy the bags.

Thanks

Read on RC a while back that it is all labeled YardRight now... I'm gonna have to check walmart now. They're marketing it to a larger area touting it as non-allergenic, because some kids have allergic reactions to silica sand..<shrug>

Brandon,

yea I read the same thing a while back on SWF about all being labled YardRight. The Wally world here doesn't have them neither does Lowes. If you still need them then just let me know.

They've always been packaged in 40 lb. bags. Great price BTW, I ordered a pallette of the stuff for the local club members last year, 2800lbs. worth, and I was still only able to get ~$7/bag for it.
