I've used #20 grade quartz pool filter sand in all my tanks for years & love it. Not that particular brand but an identical generic one. Wouldn't be without it. Go for it.

Here's what it looks like:

If you want that # 20 grade & white color of quartz PFS, you MAY be able to find it at a nearby pool supply store,
That's where I get mine - a 50 lb. bag of generic no-name brand for $13. here in Canada - it's even cheaper in the U.S. if your pool supply store carries the white color - not too many do. Many only carry a beige/tan color.
Otherwise, buy the product at Amazon where Ricardo has linked you- only 2 bags left.

It is expensive for what it is, but hey, if you do not have any close to you then bite the bullet.
