I am starting to setup my 55 gallon freshwater tank. I went to my local pool supply store and bought filter sand. It is mystic white II Pool Filter Sand ( www.u-s-silica.com/mystic.htm ) Has anybody used this sand? Would it be safe to use in my tank?

From reading the link, it looks to be ok.

I was questioning it because of the company name being u.s. silica. I couldnt find the make up of the sand. And I think I have read that you want to stay away from silica

Thats the same sand I picked up and I haven't had any problems so far.
