What does sand do?

I guess my thinking is there's absolutely nothing wrong with using silicate sand. What worries me is for the "play" type you never know what A company might do to it to try and beat out B company. They might bleach it or dye it or add lord knows what to it or simply not care and indiscriminately collect and package it. With all the pollution these days, sure it "might" be safe for us and our kids but not for the fish. As someone else stated, it just seems like a pretty high risk to me just to save a few extra bucks. I guess if you could somehow verify with the manufacturer that they've not treated it with chemicals and ensure that it's "Tank/reef" safe then sure... just not sure how easy that would be.

Those same questions should be asked about the better "live sand" too. How many "reef safe" chemicals are on the market these says and how many hold true?
