Re: First Layer Laterite (Substrate Gold)

[Dave VanderWall <dave at vanderwall_org>]

I just picked up a jar of Substrate Gold at my LFS.  I live in 
Minneapolis, MN, and Karl Schoeler (sp?) Enterprises is (was?) based 
out of Apple Valley, MN, which is a nearby suburb.  I was 
not aware this company had been sold, and/or anything about scaling back 
production.  Anyway, just wanted to let you know that it seems to be 
available locally.  Come to think of it, I've only seen it at World of 
Fish, the LFS I mentioned.  They have a web site, 
http://www.worldoffish.com, but the "shop online" link isn't up yet.

Contact me off list if you just have to have some and can't find it 
elsewhere, Lyndle.  I'd be happy to help.

Regards,

Dave VanderWall
