I'm tring to find out if tropical sand made by pavestone co. is safe to use in aquariums? I read on google that if it is safe for kids than yes it is safe to use in a sw tank but not a fw, because it would raise ph lv's. I also read that this is the same company that makes downsouth ,but i looked on there site and i cant find anything to support this. So if anyone know or uses this please let me know. THANKS!!!!!

Take a close look at the sand. Southdown sand is called oolithic. That means instead of a sharp, jagged, crystaline structure like silicone sand, southdown forms tiny round balls.
If you aren't sure, bring a bag to the meeting this Saturday and we can take a look.

By the way, where did you find this sand?
And, if you strike you with this source/brand, Chris with the club has a bunch of extra bags of Southdown. He will probably be bringing some to the meeting as well.
