I am getting a new 180 today and would like opinions about sand choices. DO to cost I would like to find an inexpensive sand for this new tank. I have read where many people use play sand from the likes of home depot but I want to make sure I get a brand that will work. Whatever I get will be seeded from another tank to ensure I bring some benificials but I don't think I should bring all of the sand from my 55.

FWIW I use the play sand from HD. I have a 55 w a deep sand bed 5-6" and it is all HD sand, seeded with sand from another aquarium. It's been running for almost 15 months, no problems.
