Try here: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_US/ColorQuartz/HomePage/Products/Buy/ to locate a distributor in your area. That's how I located the place I get mine. I pay $36 for a 50lb bag.

On a side note, I'm curious if there is a reason you want S grade? If not, I'd highly recommend T grade. The S grade is very fine, light weight particles and tends to have float. The T grade isn't very large and it's GREAT. A bit difficult to rinse due to the oils, but no floating issues and my python doesn't suck it up any more than it does gravel. The T grade as far as the particles go, reminds me of (roofing) shingle granules in size. Great stuff! I'll never set up another tank with anything but T grade!

Good luck!

Are you looking for something like this? http://www.bigalsonline.com/BigAlsCA/ctl3684/cp18315/si1379459/cl0/caribseablacktahitianmoonsand20lbs

I LOVE this stuff. It takes quite a bit of rinsing to get it tank ready, but it is really worth it.
