Sounds like a great size. Thats a bit over a millimeter grain, which would be perfect I think. Where can you get it? I am definitely interested in getting some if it turns out to work.
 
Think I saw this stuff on ebay today from the same company. the price wasn't too bad; can't remember what it was off hand though. I'm thinking about getting some as well.
 
Thats a really bad price once you add in shipping, IMO.

Wouldn't be too bad if they bundled shipping. Otherwise, you're absolutely right.

EDIT: ...and I didn't actually read it closely enough to see if they bundled shipping.
 
Including shipping, its about a dollar per pound. I'm on the other side of the continent though (its in CA) so maybe it would be cheaper for west coast people.
 
wow that is crazy expensive.. if you have a large tank and need a couple of bags that would be insane! The first one wouldn't be so bad if you could go and pick up.. but daamn..
