I'm pretty sure it's ok, hopefully you get more responses for verification. It must be rinsed well first

Quikrete brand in my experience is terrible, I use a different brand from Home Depot with a green label, something along the lines of Kolorscape or something like that

I herd play sand was pretty thin so it's harder to get clean what's the brand you referring too

 

[Freakgecko91]

I think it's Kolorscape. Home Depot sells two types: a white sand in a blue bag, and a play sand in a green bag. I use the green bag

Depending on what your going for you can get black diamond blasting sand .. its heavier and cheap and you can get it in black or white at most places like home depot ,tractor supply you know places like that.. its not hard to clean either mine was pretty clean i bought 4 bags of it to fill my tanks
