Quite hard to get these days. Wanted the same thing for my filter about a month ago. Looked everywhere, only place found was Age of Aquariums; 7kg bag of 20mm, but they also have 10mm bags as well.

hi , dont know where u can get stuff as i live in bundy but you can also use shellgrit [ the stuff ya mix in with chook & bird seed ] in ya african tank - comes in fine medium & course grades - i use it 50 - 50 mix with me sand or gravel & it works well or just put in ya filters instead - i get mine from produce stores for about 90c kilo . so if ya know where a produce store is u could try that .  dont know if this helps your  problem though .. see ya

My opinion on the coral it is not much good in a tank more suited for sump filter application. shell grit it is good also but! i would not put it in a breeders tank, only reason is that when the girl picks up the eggs they tend to pick up substrate. and in that the sharp shell grit tend to be a bit harsh on the eggs. Calcium carb - crushed marble more suitable for tank application.
