Anyone bought this substrate from Ebay before?

Does anyone have experience with this sand? Looks good, cheap, and fairly reputable. It's really super white too, which is kind of what i'm going for.

Here

Just search "30 LBS PURE WHITE ARAGONITE LIVE REEF SAND~ #1 ON EBAY!" if the link dies...

It doesn't comment on the courseness of the sand, and the pictures make it look very thick.

Think a goby would have a hard time sifting through this?

Thats just my personal opinion but still

I'm interested in giving this stuff a try. Since you've bought and used it could you post some pics of how it looks in a tank??


Still no problems with it's use?? I'm just skeptical becuase their info on e-bay says it's something that it can't possibly be "dolomitic aragonite". After calling them out on it they dropped the dolomite aspect of their claim and claimed 100% caco3 aragonite. I'm wondering if they're mining real prisitine white aragonite coral skeletons or if they're manipulating the color by some means.

Thanks.
