      substrate displays?

      Hi All - Wondering if anyone knows of any of the shops in town that have various substrates on display?

      My 60g cube setup is still fairly new to me and came with some "special grade" type substrate in it. I want more substrate and not convinced I want the same. My wife is not a fan of what we have currently either.

      However, would really like to see displays of tanks with different substrates before deciding and buying several bags. I'm leaning towards something like Caribsea "original" or Fiji Pink and want to compare that with the "special grade". Anyone know if somewhere in town uses these substrates in their tank?

      Thanks!

      Thanks. Maybe I should have been more specific. I know there are many shops in town. I've been going to AW to pick up my RODI water. They don't really have the substrates I'm looking for on display.

      Can you recommend a specific shop or two that would have a good variation of substrates on display?

      In case anyone else is looking for the same thing as me, I did stop by Pet Kingdom this past weekend and currently (Oct'15) they really only have aragonite, in a couple different sizes/grades, on display in their tanks.

      They do have a decent selection of substrates for sale though, including bulk dry aragonite and sand.

      That reminds me I have a bucket of mixed sand to give away. Looks like big + fine mixed together.
