Alright I just picked up a bag of PFS, however there is a serious warning on the bag., that is honestly scary.
Quote:

Prolonged inhalation can cause delayed lung injury including SILICOSIS, a progressive disabling and sometimes fatal lung disease...
Avoid creating dust when handling, using or storing. Use only with adequate ventilation...

So my question is, did I pick up the wrong bag of Pool Filter Sand? Is this still safe to put in my fish tank? Im just worried about my fish!
If this is the same stuff that people have used previously, what did they use a precaution for themselves, is a respiratory mask sufficient?
Anyways just thought I would ask what you guys thought.
