has anyone used the quartz Zoo Med Repti Sand in there aquarium? How has it worked?
Is it too fine?
Will quartz affect the pH of the water?
Heres the product I'm talking about: (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Product/Prod_Display.cfm?pcatid=15454&N=2006+114035)

Well I just had a chat with an employee there, and they say that they cannot recommend using this sand in an aquarium, because there might be things in it that would mess with your water parameters. But I think I might give it a shot.

check the packaging. if it says "not for aquarium use" than dont use it. if it doesnt say "for aquarium use" then it might not be for aquariums but it might work, just use caution
