Are any of these sands safe to use?

[MG72]

Trying to fine some red or white sand to go in the bottom of my tank, but I'm struggling to find reasonably priced stuff. I've been looking at craft sand instead, but I'm a bit worried in case it isn't safe to use. Would be very grateful if people could take a look at these links and let me know if they'd be suitable or not :happy:

I would think the coloured ones are probably not safe unless specified for aquarium use.

Play sand

This is what I use.
Rinse it A LOT though.

This sand has been used in a few tanks and comes in loads of different colours. The supplier confirmed that the sand is non toxic. Its a good price for coloured sand Last year I got some purple play sand from the pound shop, they had other colours as well, not sure if they are doing that again.
Post pics when your done

Thanks Mel & Pookie
Argos' play sand looks like great value, I'll pop into town today and get some!
