thanks

It works fine is that's what you mean. It, in my opinon, doesn't look as good as the white sand sold for saltwater aquariums but if you're on a budget it will do it's job.

I've used it before without a problem and it passed the vinegar test. $3 for a 50lb bag is a good deal if you don't want anything fancy.
