Quikrete commercial sand...

[crazyelvis]

I know the debate about silica sand but, has anybody tried Quikrete commercial sand? The sand is white, medium to fine grains, very very little dust, the bag states that it may contain some silica.... I used it and my tank was clear the same day..

I would be leary of using that sand but Quikcrete makes a play sand that has been screened, washed and looks really good with smaller grains which is what you want. I just went out yesterday and bought some. I looked over the commercial grade stuff and was able to compare because one bag of each had been torn apart. The play sand was cleaner and just better so I got it.
