Nobody here really knows whether or not this would be toxic to my tank? Can someone tell me if since this sand is basically all limestone (calcium) then isnt it the same as aragonite? I am really curious about this and figured the people here could best try to answer this.

Second sheet here is a more detailed collection of facts and figures that I cant tell is devoted to the specific white playsand, or to it's product line overall. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (MSDS) FOR NATURAL SAND OR GRAVEL (Complies with OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1200)...
