I was at Menards yesterday & found a pallet of white playsand. For $3 a bag it would be worth a vinegar test.

Yo Pack! Are those the 40lb bags?

What's the vinegar test?

 

[prugs]

Put some vinegar on the sand, if it fizzes, you struck gold.

OT: Your black tang, is no longer black, it's Africanis Americanas

 

[Red Sea Purple Tang]

Fizzes...and that proves what exactly?

 

[johns]

proves it is a Ca-based sand that we want, and not something else like silica, etc.

 

[Red Sea Purple Tang]

It was silica sand...

Here is a link to a Craigslist posting from April. This is the Southdown sand. I have seen a number of references to is as an acceptable sand for reef use on WetWebMedia.com.

Actually... I should get a bag.

I used to buy southdown sand at HD. Not sure if they carry it anymore. They changed the name several times. Last time I bought it, it was called "caribean playsand".
That's too bad about the "white" sand at Menards on HWY 100 being silica.
