Went to the local Home Depot today to pick up some hinges and knobs for my stand and went to check out the gravel selection for my brother. I know people use several companies' sand for their set-ups. However my HD carried 2 brands, one was called "Kolor*something*" don't remember the exact name (but it said not for Aquarium Use). The other was a local brand "T-C Landscape Supply," the sand was "Premium Dried Finishing Sand." Anyone around Chicago use it? or anyone else?
Wish I had a small vessel with me I could of snagged some to do that fizz test with it.

If you want to use regular ol' sand, get some pool filter sand.
