I need a heavier sand

use caution when using any sand designed for marine tanks.. they may have buffers in them to buffer the pH up.

Depending on how much they buffer the pH that might not be so bad for me, my tap water is super soft (talking close to 0 GH/KH) and very acidic (at least as low as 6.0 on the API kit).

I don't really want to mess with the pH though, just want a little buffering in the water.
 
I use pool filter sand and my corys love it. It is heavy enough to not get kicked up..........
