Why is this so hard? Finding substate?

I'm starting a new CBS tank and am looking for a buffering substrate. I have amazonia and fluval stratum in other tanks and have good luck with both.

I've spent the last hour searching for either of these. Everyone is out! Unless I want to pay $70 for a bag of fluval? No way.

Can anyone help me find something? Is there a shortage or something?

aquariumguys.com has the 4.4lb bag of fluval shrimp stratum for $9.68 so forget amazon lol
BigAls has the fluval in stock
all 3 sizes
This is the new version. Although it says its ok for shrimp, it's more for plants. I was looking specifically for the Shrimp Stratum.

Thanks. I saw this too, but $70 for a bag of Amazonia seems insane. I want to say I paid around $30 ish for mine last time. Seems the original place is down for a remodel.
i was talking at my LFS and there is a rumor of the shrimp stratum not being made anymore? he wasn't sure but last time he called he wasn't able to order it

I just check their website and I guess this is the new stuff...plant and shrimp substrate
Azoo buffers Bt only for 6 months. Try Aqua forest aquarium. They always have itm but you save on shipping when you buy three bags. I paid 90 for 3 bags shipped of 9l
Thanks everyone for all the info! I appreciate it!
