It contains silica which irritates the rays underbelly. Use estes sand instead. Tested for rays. :)

Also, does anyone have a link to anyone that sells it? I am looking for it in black, but any
color is also fine. Thanks guys for your help, I know I am annoying someone here! :p

Try your local lfs. Mine has it available. If not try online. Dr. Foster Smith has it.
You can also try thatfishplace.com and bigalsonline.com

I only have 1 lfs and they can only order saltwater sands that make your pH 8.5.
I will check out the online sites you gave links to, thanks!!!
