Want to set up 10 litre guppy fry tank + baby plant tank( growing them )
I want to use sand
CAN I USE SAND FROM THE BEACH IF I WASH IT OFF
 
From what I've heard that the beach is not a good place to get sand too much icky bacteria, doesn't settle right etc. also some beaches have allot of salt in the sand which is not good for freshwater fishies.

Is it possible to use building sand??

IMO The best kind of sand to use if your not going to get aquarium sand is natural play sand, it does not have any extra added chemicals but you do have to rinse it throughly.
