Hello all, new to the forum so i apologize if this question has been answered already.

I want to lay some sand down for my tank and was wondering if it was okay to use general purpose white desert sand purchased at home depot. I washed it out 7x before putting in the tank, but was still curious. . . thanks!

how fine are the grains?

if you washed it out that many times it shouldnt be that bad.

i know that quickcrete sand is good.

i personally have play-sand from homedepot and its pretty nice
