I don't know whether it is suitable in terms if toxins, but it is very sharp and I certainly wouldn't if you're planning to have catfish or other bottom dwellers. TBH I wouldn't try it.

Tesco value low dust cat litter is the way to go then. Very cheap.

I used Argos play sand in all my tanks.

£2.99 for 15kg,rinse it thoroughly,usually rinse it 3-4 times

Excellent

I'm using swimming pool filter sand and it's around £10 for 25kg and doesn't compact like playsand does
