Umm, this is 'Washington Fishbox', a Washington state based forum... A 100lb bag of ANYTHING will cost a bunch of money to ship. We don't have much use for pool filter sand up here as there aren't very many pools, like in Cali, Florida or Texas. Thought this might be worth a mention to those out of staters that are chiming in.Fern said:I know someone found it in cali, look around you may find it. It is the only sand I will ever use in my tanks, its cheap and works very very well!
Yes we are well aware this is a Washington based forum. I figured it was worth a mention because its a nice sand and there is a chance it could be found there.Racersk said:Umm, this is 'Washington Fishbox', a Washington state based forum...

You got my attention when you said your pfs was an off-white color. I use pfs in almost every one of my tanks, but it's more of a tan color and a little change would be nice. I've been looking for six years and have found only one brand of pool filter sand sold in this area.Fern said:I know someone found it in cali, look around you may find it.

Racer, I've been using Target brand pfs for years now. You can find it at some of the spa supply stores and McClendon's has it as well (at a better price). You can see some pictures of it in this topic ...Racersk said:Please if ANYONE can prove me wrong and get PFS locally, please share the knowledge, and I'll HAPPILY eat crow!
Figures, I didn't check McClendon's, they have everything! On MonsterFishKeepers, I guess there aren't enough McClendon's in the US to have even made a mention that they have it. I have been to a couple of the Aquaquip places and they wanted either too much or didn't know where to get the sand without the filter to go with it.Betty said:You got my attention when you said your pfs was an off-white color.
