Sorry,I re-read my post....I know its OK to use but will it be a NO3 factory?thats what i was wanting to know.I dont want to worry about vacuuming it out all the time.

I don't think so, you may test it by puting it in a bucket with tested saltwater and then compare the results with and without the sand, not sure if it will work though lol.
good luck
