Default Sakrete Premium Grade Play Sand
I bought some Sakrete Premium Grade Play Sand at the local Home Depot, does anyone know if this is silica or not? The bag is clear plastic and says premium grade in blue letters and then play sand below that and it has a picture of a little girl playing in sand, anyone know about this stuff? I tried the vinegar test but the only stuff I had was some old balsamic vinegar and it didn't bubble. If this stuff is silica would it still be ok to mix with my carib sea live sand and put in the tank?

According to the Manufacturers web site it is "Playsand
Washed and oven-dried river sand intended for children's playboxes. This colorful bag pictures kids playing in a sandbox.
PACKAGING: 50 lb. bag; 48/pallet" So It is not marine sand, If that is what you wanted to know.
As far as mixing it I don't know what would happen?
