FWIW I use Bunnings play sand in one of my tanks and pool filter sand in the other. No discernible difference in PH or hardness (TDS, GH & KH).
But both tanks have water changes at same time and from same source.
Cheers,
Scott

That's interesting to know Scott I must confess I have never used play sand before, but please consider that their is the potential problem. and that is that bunnings would have an inconsistent supply, meaning they would most likely source the sand from several supplier locations which makes it impossible to keep a standard throughout all their outlets, oils ain't oils & sand isn't always sand lol
To answer your question. Budde It's impossible to say because we don't know the concentration levels of what's in the sand. If you do large water changes weekly you may never see a problem .We use filter sand because from my experience it's mostly the same no matter where you buy it ,its a bit like a Big Mac burger, lol
