Patrick,
I found a great seller on ebay, $30 total for 30 lbs of white fiji sand. Comes with additional snails, and Macroalgae (for fuge..) But still is a great deal, I thought!

Here's the link:

30LB NATURAL WHITE FIJI LIVE SAND + REFUGIUM KIT - (eBay item 250194331151 end time Dec-12-07 10:15:32 PST)

I was thinking of getting that for my 40g tank. But to get 250lbs of it would be a bit expensive.

Elliot,
Yeah I wouldn't consider it for my 220. But when purchasing, maybe two boxes of these..It seems worth it!

how about something shipped flat rate?

it is a little under 5$ to ship 2-3 day.

or there is the priority something or other, and it is only 8$ to ship up to 70lbs 2-3 day.

It's going to cost you a small fortune to pay everyone for shipping.
Not a particularly good idea because you don't know what you're getting in all these little bags. You just might unknowingly get something that would be bad for your tank.
