I am uncertain if it is ok, but the lime free stuff from a garden centre is only £3.99 for 30 kgs, it is used for ponds etc, mine is called lime free coarse grit, I got it from poll hill garden centre which has a maiden head aquatics joined on to it, I presumed it is ok, needed a good wash though, I have used it in a small 28 litre tank I am currently cycling to use for fry.could i buy gravel from a garden center or my local builders merchants and give it a good clean, instead of paying of the odds at my LFS?
