    wel actuly is true i read this some were and i was ifraid of using it but i gad the one thats made out of quarts is white and is eccelent it looks just like white beach sand and it wont turne into cemente it will only compact if you are runing a calcium reactor but if you get some sand chifters you will be fine and any sand licks cillica into your tank if you have a glass tank , that made with sillica... if you have a sillica you will grow dytons and wend they die after one or two week then your tank has no more sillica ...i think thats how it gos and thanks for you coments

    I understand what you mean $$$$ but I really hope that you dont have any problems with it. I personally would have gotton the LS from the ocean before getting the HD sand. Esp. when you live in FLA.
    Keep us posted.
