I've had bad luck with regular washed play sand, it seems very dusty and coarse and is generally very dirty, even though it's "washed". And it seems that every place I got it from had something different, there was no consistency at all from day to day and store to store.

I've had excellent results with pool filter sand bought from the local pool supply store. It's a finer grain, and is so clean that I can literally pour it directly into my uro's enclosures without any dust at all. It costs about $13 for a 50-lb. bag, so it's more expensive than standard play sand, but for how clean it is, it's well worth it IMO.

Just a thought as an alternative to play sand...
