    [quote author=Matt Rogers link=board=Sand;num=1109119154;start=0#7 date=02/23/05 at 13:48:25]I've heard a lot of back and forth on silica sand. But the last I heard was that concerns were overblown and that the silica won't leach. So I'd be tempted to go that route if I had too.[/quote]

    For the record, one thing I just remembered about silica sand is that it doesn't have the buffering capacity that aragonite has. FYI.

    Good news guess persistance paid off I got up with home depot corprete offices and located some in another state and they are store transfering me 5 50lb bags of it at $4.99 a bag with no freight so I guess that is a good thing. I'm putting the extra 3 bags up for a rainy day for now. thanks for the advice.
