I have a question! (read within your post)

Well its possible. The way I see it is, its not tropical, so therfore
what is in it may not survive in a tropical setup. then again it may.
But no matter what any sand is easy to seed with live sand. So you can
really use a bag of playsand that costs $3.50 from the big box builder
supply store and a cup or two of live sand from LFS or a freinds
established tank, or add some live rock and in short order it will be
just as functional as any live sand you buy or harvest from tropical
regions would be.

Question is; How long have you been an aquarist?

So, what about using beach sand from an area not typically associated
with tropics or reefs like the North coast of California? Might this
still be considered beneficial?
