Suitable Substrate

Hi All,

Just wanted your opinions if this is a suitable substrate or not...

Heard of a lot of people using sandblasting sand for substrate, just wanted to check this was ok.

Cheers

I have read that silica based sand is no good if I can recall right.

Do a search for stingray substrate etc. Should find some info on here

I have silica sand in both my tanks, 125 and 150, never had any trouble with it, no algea concerns, lights on about 6 hrs per day, no direct sunlight. I buy it locally at a pool supply store, $5.25 for 75lb bag. I don't have stingrays, I have severums, parrots, firemouths, clown knife, loaches. etc
