I purchased my Black Beauty in a 100 pound bag at a sand blasting supply company. I'm guessing it cost about $12, but I don't remember for sure. The shop was listed in the yellow pages, under (I think) "Sand Blasting Supplies." It comes in different sizes, but the largest is just barely usable for an undergravel filter. It does need thorough washing as it will cast a grey suspension in the water from its dust. --Randy Mike Chappell wrote: > Hi there, > > I am from the pittsburgh area, wondering where you are finding this sand at? > At a landcaping stone yard?
