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.

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!

Its also under the name of "Yardright" and comes from the same people. Buddy
and I looked for any of the three for close to a year and stumbled upon a
old store that had 30 bags of it. Needless to say we bought it all and
supplied all my reef buddies with it while it lasted. I kept 4 bags in
reserve for any future upgrades in tank size

That would be it in the center in the blue label. The bags we used in our
systems were loaded with coral chips, shells and all the other nice ocean
remnants.

Here is a pic of some of the pieces we found in 2 bags...
