WOW
Ok I just got off the phone with the manufacture .
The numbers I got are not all that bad and I can get the larger 1/2 - 3/4 " stuff . He explained it was not that they did not have that size but the fact they could not always keep up with the demand on that size . They even said they could deliver and the cost would be under 100$ a cubic yard and thats more than rock but way less than hydrotron .
Now the problem ,,,,,,,Anyone in Texas need media ????? as a minimum load is 35 cubic yards Having room for that much is no problem hacking up that much money for media at one time is

So that leaves two options run up with my truck and get what I can get in it ,or find a company that is getting it in locally for road base and buy some from them .

We did talk about the material and the weight on the 1/2-3/4 would be 45# per cubic foot and would retain about 20% water after flooding . Even dry it will have 5-10% moisture weight
So at this point I know a lot more about exp. shale but still have no clue what I am going to do
Have A Kind Day
