I just set up my new 5 gallon planted invert tank last night. I used mostly gravel in the tank but part of it is sand as well. I used playsand but it would look way better if I used white sand. Does anyone have any idea where I could get a small amount of white sand that would be snail and eventually shrimp safe?

You could possibly check with a company that sells rock and gravel. 3M might sell a colorquartz. Not sure if they would have white, but I know they have black...
the silica wont say that it is for aquarium use.
it isnt live sand. this is the stuff that has been dryed out and is in 5# bags. it is good for freshwater use. if you are only using 1 bag it shouldnt be too bad on the pocketbook but if you had to use 5# bags on a 100gal tank, that may be a problem.
hope this helps
