Default Southdown in the UK

Hello

Im here in the UK and i am setting up a DSB in an external tank.

I read alot about Southdown playsand and likewise but im assuming that there
trade names and obviously we dont have the same over here..

Wickes and The Early learning centre do playsand for childrens sandpits, is
that what you use?

Has anyone in the UK set up a DSB using this sort of material and could you
tell me what you used

Thanks in advance

Warren

Southdown is aragonite sand. It will dissolve in vinegar (or at least fizzle a
tad), so you can test various samples, or see who sells aragonite sand in your
area.
