Rev, I wouldn't use any type of play sand. They have high silica content. Not sure if they all do but I went and got some and I regret it ever since.

Diatoms feed off Silica so if I don't clean my glass and sand often it takes over my tank. Also the fine sand never seems to settle and is always floating in my tank. When ever a fish swims close to the bottom they kick up more sand. I'm in the process of taking it out a little at a time.
