Where can I get black sand substrate?

[Texs]

Anyone know where I can purchase black sand substrate?

I don't know specifically where but search for 3M colorquartz. They've got a nice black sand.

If you google 3m's website, they have a search engine to find a local distributor of color quartz. It should cost around $20 for a 50 lb bag.

Thanks.

Do you think I could find some color quartz at a local pool store?

i doubt it, since most pool stores wouldn't have color selection. worth a shot though

Yeah I am going to give it a shot because I can't find any for retail online. So then my only option would be to locate a distributor and see if they will ship it to me.

if that doesn't look like what you want, there are other substrates on there that might work.

Not a pool store. Try a local landscape supply company though. There is one here that carries it.
