Crushed Coral to Sand

Okay I know this has been a question that has been posted before but I couldn't find a good answer...
I am moving in a 4 days. I would like to replace my Crushed Coral with Sand. Right now I have probably 40 pounds of CC and 20 pounds of Live Sand. The Live Sand is on one side of the tank covering some of the crushed coral and on the other side is just Crushed Coral. I plan on keeping The live sand. I will need more sand to replace the Crushed Coral I will be taking out. What kind should I use? Where do I get it? Also, I would like to keep the same color of the sand. Currently the sand I have is White.
I have read that some people would get play sand from Home Depot, but it seems like that sand is more brown than white.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Joe

I went to Home Depot like you said and bought the Tropical Playsand in the blue and red bag... I believe it had some kinda kid on the front playing or something. That's what people were recommending that' I've seen and a little under $5 for a 50lb bag isn't asking to much compared to the cost of sand in a lfs. Just glad that they had that sand up here as I read about a lot of people not being able to get ahold of it
