I'm not keen on white sand as it shows debris too quickly and seems to
foster more algae (more reflected light at the sand's surface?). I
personally don't think that fish are very comfortable with too much
light coming UP at them. Highlights their presence to airborn
predators (try explaining to them there are no birds in your house ;~)
====================
Lowe's carries what's called a coarse builders sand which is a brown color.
It's also called "all purpose" sand. The play sand here is so fine it's
almost powdery. I would be afraid a child would inhale the power and damage
it's lungs.
