HELP! Is Pavestone Pool Filter Sand good?
Hi, first of all, just want to let you guys know Im a newbie here, this is my first post, I have asked questions someplace else, but never got any good answers, so Im here, to get help from the fish experts. SO Hi to everyone!
Ok, So I went to home Deopt and bought a bag of Pool Filter sand, the brand is Pavestone. THe bag contains no info on chemicals it contains, it does not even say how many pounds, it just says "PAvestone Pool Filter Sand" and that its great for pool filters and .5 Cu. Ft. What is that? Im guessing it means 50 pounds? ANyways, I bought it since I heard Pool filter sand is great for Freshwater, and it was only like 5 bucks. Is this brand Safe to use? Also I started to wash it a bit, and it turned brownish color, like any other wet sand looks like. I though this sand was supposed to look white? Is this just normal? Forgot to mention, it has some brown and black specs around here and there. But the sand is mostly crystal looking.
Anyways, just want to make sure this sand is safe before I add it to my 55 gallon tank. Please help me out here, Im desperate for a fast answer, just cause I want my cory's to have a soft subtrate mostly than anything right now. So yeah, dont fell rushed though. Thank you for all the Help I recieve.
