Yes that is where I got info for Turface and Fines but still need to locate Gran I Grit or similar.
Thanks,

Sharon

It's really tough in FL, Sharon. I've tried to find granite or cherrystone with no luck. There are some companies that sell various sizes of graded gravel used in filtering that work well, but at the moment, I'm unable to access old files on a new puter. I'll be back if a search of the forums turns up anything, as I know for certain that I offered addresses & phone numbers of places in FL that sell suitable product. You can always use coarse, screened, rinsed perlite as a sub in a pinch, too.

On another forum by the grace of serendipity, I ran across this reminder that triggered operation of 'the memory banks': Try Tractor Supply Stores and look/ask for Manna Pro Poultry Grit.

I use the Manna pro from Tractor Suppply. If any farm suppply stores are in your area, any poultry grit that is made from granite will work.

Greg from Florida was looking for gran-i-grit down in Florida. He ended up finding the Manna Pro like AL suggesed. I thought you would like to see what he found and what he finally did with his mix tonight!!! He did a great job!! Im so happy for him!!!

Take care,

I hope this link helps..

Here is a link that might be useful: gritty mix...

Thanks Laura, a lot of info there. I will be reading much.

If you can't find the Manna Pro grit, it might be worth a call to Florida Silica Sand in Plant City (813) 752-0926
. Ask them if they sell anything uniform in size in a size range from about 3/32 - 3/16" for grit, but not limestone.

They also have several other FL locations.
