land_lubber Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Does anyone know where I can get Daltons Aquatic mix and Propogating sand from in or around Papakura? I've tried Mitre 10 Mega and Bunnings and neither have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

land_lubber Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 I got mine from Plamers in Pakuranga since I was over there picking up a Ehiem 2217 I got off trademe. It ended up being $12.99 for 15kg instead of the $14.99 advertised. There were only 4 bags left as well so grabbed 2 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land_lubber Posted September 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Found some sand on trademe called Pinaki sandpit sand, would that be alright for cories? I've used pool filter sand before and found that it damaged the mouths of my cories. I think it was too sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Bunnings should be able to do a special order for you. They are allowed to buy in non sku'd products or out of stocks as long as the supplier has it. Might charge you freight though. I work in Bunnings and Mitre 10 stores, Palmers, Garden centres etc and I haven't seen it anywhere. I'll ask around for you if you can't find any.
