At my local Home Depot they sell play sand for dirt cheap. I wanted to use it to put about 2" on the bottom of my tank and then put about 1" live sand on top of that. The play sand at Home Depot does not say if it is synthetic or not and none of the employees seem to know. If it is synthetic would this pose any problems? From what I understand is that the bottom layer of sand is dead anyway due to a lack of oxygen. I would hate to have to buy enough live sand to make a 3" sand bed if the bottom 2" die off anyway. Also it would cost $$$ for all live sand. Anybody have any input on this? Thx
