Is this type of Criva Pebble from Lowes safe for aquarium? There are some crushed seashells in it. This stuff is almost as fine as a grain of sand.

i see people use it, maybe just wash it a lot. and test it using goldfish feeder. if it dies, then it is not safe. not sure.
the seashells will give you some buffering.... if that's not a problem just rince it real well and put it in....
I think I paid $8.97 for a 50 lbs bag. Not the cheapest gravel choice but it was still way cheaper than the LFS which charges $5 for a lb of gravel. Plus in my opinion the gravel looks very natural and it felt like sand since the grain are almost as small as a grain of rice. I bought two bags and it was enough to fill up my 5 ft tank. I check the pH last night and was it was a solid 7.8 which is normal for SoCal tap water.
Keep us updated, as It has a Red Flint Look to it......I am actually buying some red flint from ray777 and it would work great with it as the red flint has a bigger grain.....
