    I purchased from this ebay seller and it was delivered very quickly, spend about $40 for 50 lbs of live sand for my fuge and it also came with some chaeto. It's very fine and white. Just be carefull to shut off your pumps for a while so it doesn't cloud your tank. It only clouded mine slightly for a couple of hours.

    This is where we have been buying our live rock and live sand. So far, no issues. Actually picked up two more 30lb sets today.

    Does he have feedback on the same item? I personally don't buy rocks or sand off of Ebay. Years ago I bought sand and when I got it, it smelled like bleach. Really strong! I made the mistake of not reading his feedback as it turns out that other people had the same problem and some had lost their tank inhabitants as they had bought the sand to add to their existing sand. Read feedback;)

    The guy has 100% rating with over 350 sales, he is doing something right. BTW, I ordered 50 pounds of LR from ebay, even shipped from Walt Smith I only paid $150 w/ shipping!!! ;D
