Saw this on CL today.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/grd/4327480060.html

The company site has it listed as 95-97% pure S1O2 Cal-Silica Sand and tested 7 on the MOHS hardness test.

http://www.calsilica.net/silica-sand.html

Would be use for later on for Florida Soft-Shell Turtles. I currently have pleco, flowerhorns, and an arowana in the tank.

The question is... would it be safe and is the grain size heavy enough for easy cleaning when I stir up the sand to allow trapped poop to rest on top of the sand bed?

Thanks in advance.
