Unipac Senagal Sand Substrate in the US?

Looking for a source in the US for this sand, its sold in the UK. I was wondering if anyone has seen this or something similar here in the US. Any help suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!



Here's the company site: http://www.unipacpet.co.uk/aquatic/aquarium-sand/

Thank you. That looks pretty close. This is for a 125g with Madagascar cichlids and they're all serious diggers/sifters. I'm concerned about coarseness as well. I've been using supernaturals sunset gold in their existing tanks, but definitely want something darker than what I have now.

Thx. I'll check it out. I'm in north jersey so it should be easy enough. The pic you posted does look like sunset gold, which I think will be too light. I'm waiting for delivery on my DBN 3D Bulu Point brown. With Sunset gold/bulu point the BG will be much darker than the substrate. My Paretroplus Maculatus look great with the sunset gold in their current setup, since they've colored up. But my young Paretroplus Menarambo, in another tank with SG, look washed out as they're still around 2.5 inches. All you see is pinstripes. The rest of my Malagasies are very dark, so a too light substrate will influence their color as well.

So, the company is in Fairfield, about 20 minutes away. I'm going to call and hopefully I'll be able visit to see the product colors in person. Wow, there's a lot of colors. I've read its tough to clean. Any thoughts?

Quick update, I spoke with their business office here in NJ. They're sending me free samples of 4 standard blends and 4 individual colors in different mesh sizes. The minimum order for blends is usually 8 bags, but will send 3 via ups since he's interested in the project. For three 50lb blended bags, its approx $150 with shipping from Illinois. The products aren't made in NJ, their manufacturer is out of state. In the past I've paid $20+ for a 20lb bag of sunset gold. So that's not unreasonable.

I spoke with him about aquarium use and folks that have used their products in tanks. He's interested in pics and progress updates. Since there's a distributor in NJ, I can pick up standard colors and save on shipping. Size is 50lbs for $20 standard color. And 50lbs for $23 standard blend. He will also give blend color mixture ratios and I can blend them myself.

Thank you soooo much for the info. I think its great to be able to customize sand colors to better replicate natural environments!!
