I don't know if this will help you or if you have more experience but here is a good site for info

I've been looking at Yardright as a Southdown substitute as well.
Anyone know why the Yardright web site says this:
"Not suitable for aquarium systems and traction purposes."
http://www.yardright.com/sand.htm
Why are they saying its not suitable for aquarium use?

Because, I think it's Coral Seas, has an exclusive agreement with Southdown/Tropical to market their sand for aquariums

Thanks Osolow, yes I know the site is down right now. My host raised their prices and I had to change, just haven't had the time to move everything back online.
Later,
