i calculate about 700 pounds give or take 50 for a 4" sandbed in a 400 gallon pond whichw ould be the ideal for keeping stingrays
and yes playsand would be fine IMO

thats awsome, my father and i went and priced sand ponds and filters for everything
one more question is would a pond pump/filter be ok for salt water or do i have to get one from the fish store

I use pond filters on my pond
You can also use those huge sand filters. they are like fluidized bed filters just easyer to maintain.
