Back when I had a large colony of conicus I used sand for a substrate without any problems for almost 20 years. They will always ingest small quantities, but they have obviously evolved to handle it. I also noticed that neonate conicus fed much more readily when kept on sand, as I believe they felt more secure when burrowing into it. The only drawback of this substrate is the weight.
