Where can I purchase bags of aluminum sulfate for a reasonable price within 75 miles of Fort Worth? I need to apply close to 1000 pounds to clear a six acre pond with 8 inches of visibility due to suspended clay. Gypsum is cheap in 40 pound bags at any farm supply store, but I have not found alum in larger that 4 pound bags, and they are very proud of it.

Look in yellow pages or do a search on the Internet for Chemical companies that can probably supply alum in your area. Another possibility is to contact a local sewage treatment plant and find out where they get their alum from. It's very commonly used in the water treatment business.
I got 50 lb. bags dirt cheap in my area from a chemical supply company. Much Much cheaper than than the smaller bags you speak of.
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Estes has locations in Ft. Worth and Carrollton. Ft. Worth doesn't currently have aluminum sulfate on hand, but Carrollton does - 50# bags (they can handle branch transfers). You'll need to check with them on the pricing, as freight-costs are major part of that product's expense.
