For those of you wanting 3M Colorquartz, I have found a place online that has 27 bags left of Grade T Black and is getting rid of it for $21.12 each. Free shipping! What a deal, eh? Since this grade is not part of their product line, you must call them to order. 800-535-3325 (press 1 to reach their order desk).

Grade S is a regular product they carry and always have it for $38 a bag with free shipping. This grade can be ordered online and all the various colors can be purchased. http://vbpstore.com/50-lb-bag-of-3m-color-quartz.html

I ordered 6 bags of the grade T and they shipped almost immediately via FedEx Ground.

I just snagged a bag too!! Thank you so much for the heads-up!!

Nice deal! I'm going to order some- I really like this stuff. :thumbsup:

 

[jargonchipmunk]

yes definitely thanks. I just started searching for this product locally and they wanted $40/bag everywhere. Half price and no shipping. Now I can afford some plants when I start the tank lol

I came across this, and this is a good deal for those without local suppliers. I can pick up T and S grade for $23/bag locally.

It's better than my "local". LOL 21.12 to the door and no gas. I was thrilled when I found it. I had planned to drive 3.5 hours one way and pay $30+ per bag.

Thank you, thank you I've been looking all over for this stuff! :bounce:

 

[vince-anity]

so this stuff is cool to use in a planted tank? can i be used on top of some first layer laterite?

 

[lizziotti]

yes I'm going to use it over mineralized soil. I've beeb told it holds a slope real well I'm not sure about the S grade though which is too bad because it comes in more colors. I like the brown ranges it comes in. Anyone know more about the S grade? I'm not finding too much out.

Is it inert?

Is it inert?

Short answer:

Yes.

Long Answer:

Yes it is.

[michu]

I believe I read that the S grade floated around too much to hold a slope well. I have no personal experience with it.

I believe there's only 4 bags left after my order. So those wanting in, jump on it!

 

[michu]

Wow. That went quickly.

 

[prototyp3]

Wow. That went quickly.

Very quick. The lady was so confused about why they've received so many calls for this discontinued sand.

And thanks for the heads up on this deal. My friend is starting a tank so I had to grab this for him. Great deal.
