Ricks # is (301)694-9664

Everything (Onix sand, Eco-Complete and such..) is about $20 a bag. They special ordered the T. moon sand for me, which gives me something to play with in the tens with those rocks.

The answer would be that YES they have Eco-Complete.<edited><editID>SCMurphy</editID><editDate>37995.1429398148</editDate></edited>

"about" has a very non-commital feel to it, doesn't it?

Sean, how far is this place from you? If EC is less
than $25 / bag can you please grab two bags for me?

I know that LFS in Annandale has Eco Complete but
I don't want to give them my business.

can i ask why? is that something for off list? I just want to hear about stores that are good and those that are bad too.

Also in the tank is some local Delaware rock...

Our local LFS carries Eco-complete, about $20 a bag methinks, I can
check on this. Jay Luto, myself, John Wheeler and perhaps Giancarlo
Podio are making an AC run on Jan 24, we could drop off a bag or
two at that time if anyone else was interested in getting together...

Cheers,
Jeff

<u>FLORA-MAX Substrate </u>

Grows almost everything well. Redder than Florite, and slightly larger...

<u>Estes NATURAL with UltraStone Cumberland River Gems</u>

My favorite light-colored combo. The sizes of the <a href="http://www.estesco.com/pdf/aqua.pdf" target="_blank">Estes Natural are perfect, #3, 4 or 5,</a> but it only comes in a 5 lb bag! It's listed at the bottom of page 2 in the catalog, but not illustrated there... It is an uncoated stone, so you can boil it, unlike some of their other products. If you use a root tab (i.e. Seachem Flourish) this grows great roots!!!

I've combined it here for a river-bed look, with <a href="http://www.ultrastone-intl.com/naturalpebbles.htm" target="_blank">Ultrastone Cumberland River Gems</a>.. very rounded and a pleasing size.. Better picture to come!
