thats the stuff im speaking of, here is the info on it.......
Product Name:
SouthDown or YardRIght Tropical Play Sand From The Carribean
Manufactured by:
SouthDown/Yard Right
Available at:
Selected Home Depot Stores
Silica-free
Labelled as 'silica free', SouthDown Tropical Sand is well sought after by aquariasts as it is one of the few 'silica free' playsands sourced in the Carribean. The 'silica free' status relates to the silica dust which is often found in play sand sold within Hardware Stores and Toy stores.
Silica dust can cause damage to lungs if inhaled. Studies have shown thatlong term damage can lead to cancer, and that the impurities in many of the 'mined' playsands are not safe for aquariums or crabitats. As Marie Davis found when she researched, many of the playsands available in the US are actually mined and contain silicates, lime and other impurities that you would not want in your crabarium.
