Mark Levinson make my life easier!

It is hard to tell. My gut says no. If you want tropical
playsand, you'll need Southdown or Old Castle (or was it
White Castle?)

The stuff at the LFS costs more, but it is safe to use.

Mark,
Will this from ACE Hardware work? - SAND PLAY 50# QUIKRETE. I will add Live
Sand from my current tank and some from the LFS.

Yes, 4" deep is just fine. You can go as much as 6" if you so desire, but
4" is sufficient.

I used sugar-sized myself. Oolitic is super fine, and I don't think you
have to go that route personally.

Mark,
thanks for your help. I am thinking of adding the following to the new
60x24 tank. It will be ~300Lbs of sand giving me a 4" DSB.

1) Is the sand good?
2) is 4" enough for a DSB?

5 x CaribSea Aragamax Sugar-Sized Sand 30 lb (CaribSea Aragamax Oolitic
Select Reef Sand)

5 x CaribSea Aragamax Oolitic Select Sand 30 lb (CaribSea Aragamax Grand
Bahama Reef Sand)

Thanks for the feedback!
