i was told the new play sand that home depot has(the one in the picture)is suppose to have been treated with some kind of antibacterial chemical,thats why it says do not use in aquariums. just what i was told not sure though. i was going to buy that one but i bought the quickcrete play sand instead.

another good sand to use is kiln dried sand or silver sand ( pure silica) i bought some put some in a glass filled it with water gave it a good shake the sand settled verty quickly and the water remained crystal clear used it in me brackish set up and its been fine
