that's just depressing.
All the play sand is silica based......I did find a bag of Pavestone pool filter sand, and it looked nice, but there was no mention of aragonite or silica on the bag anywhere.
It probably won't say aragonite or silica on it. If you can find out what it is made from, limestone or marble should be ok. Or if you can get a sample, put some white vinegar on it and see if it bubbles.

I feel like Bacffin, I was going to buy a lot of LS yet saw some of the postings about sand found in Wal-Mart. I thought I needed LS from my LFS yet now I know with the worms and stuff growing in my tank I can save money.
Thanks

I signed up to buy some leftovers. After my tank has been up and running, I'll join in the next trade, whenever that may be.
