If you have plenty of plants, I think that would lessen any negatives about pool filter sand. My pf sand is white I would have used tan pf sand if I knew it was available. I have it in two of my three tanks. One thing I like about it is that you really don't need to rinse it very much before putting it in the tank...maybe a quick rinse to remove sand dust. I lightly go over the surface when I do python water changes and suck up a tiny bit of the sand but it quickly sinks back down when raising the python tube.
My spotted cories love patrolling over the sand in search of food tidbits.
