Silica sand that contains lime?

[adamm]

Hello, I am setting up my new SW tank and bought some Quickcrete Silica sand at Lowes. I rinsed the heck out of it and noticed it said something like "contains lime" on the bag. I'm assuming this is not safe for my tank? Thanks everyone

I know some folks use lime stone in there tanks instead of live rock. Its never hurt their system.

Really? I didn't think about that. I did rinse it really well and I'm sure the lime was in powder form as the granules that are left appear to be pure silica.
I have pool filter sand (silica sand, same stuff) in my African cichlid tank and everything is fine there. However, I don't recall the bag saying that it contained lime and SW fish are generally more delicate than cichlids.
Anyone else care to comment? Thanks
