Dude, for 3M Colorquartz, just find a pool builder or a couple of them and ASK! 2 bags will not be enough. I used 4 S grade in a 180 for 3 1/2". I got them from a place in Riverside. $17.50 a bag.

If you don't mind paying a bit more of a price - distributor or thereabouts - for the stuff intended for aquariums then check out www.marinedepot.com

They're located in Anaheim and offer prices competitive with places like Drsfostersmith.com or BigAlsOnline.com but offer Will Call/Customer Pick Up.

I use them to get substrates and other heavy items - to avoid shipping charges. Just picked up 80 lbs. of torpedo sand last Friday at $11.50 every 20 lbs.

I must be retarded or something
I googled some pool builders and they each said they dont sell or know where to buy it from (Although, 1 said Home Depot).

Anyone know where to get some non-silica Sand (T-Grade) in L.A Area???????
LFS around here dont carry it

You will not find it in an LFS. I am suprised they haven't figured out to carry it yet, and even if they did, you'd be paying like $30-40 a bag.
I have no idea where to find it in LA. I will try to find that place in Riverside. Probably the most I can do for ya!

Looking for some substrate that is Non-Silica and that will not get cought in the filter (I hear fine sand is a pain)
