Hey guys & gals,

I wanted to throw this out there and see if anyone else is interested. I went to a Pool Supply company here in Anaheim to compare the different grade of 3M colorquartz sand. I believe the "S" grade is to fine for my application but would be perfect for rays. I personally would use the "T" grade.

I was quoted $47.99 for a 50lb bag of "T" grade. Which kind of caught me off guard, as I wasnt expecting that. If I buy 10+ bags of this stuff than, I would get a price of $32.99. So I firgured maybe I can get some fellow MFKers, to jump in on the order. If I get enough interested and commitments. I will purchase the items and pick up would be at my house (Garden Grove, CA).

Here are the details:

- 50lb of Colorquartz Sand
- Any color that they offer (I am getting black though). To view colors, click on the link below and than click on the color tab.

- "T" grade
 
If anyone knows of a better place I can get it for cheaper, please let me know. I have a couple of big tanks to fill and could save a dollar or two. I am located in Orange County but have only found 1 distributor (in Anaheim) here locally.

Hope his help, Did you get quote from National pool tile company. I bought mine from the same company in livermore, CA for 23.99+tax Wholesale price. They make the mistake the first time but when i went back for second time they give me the same price because I can show the old invoice. So why don't you call them ask them see they can sell it to you for 23.99 and if they ask for the invoice i can email it to you.
