Sand safe to use? Kolorscape Play Sand?

[ChristianV]

The sand is called Kolorscape play sand and contains silica. Some say it contains calcium carbonite.I did a fizz test and it did not fizz. Is this sand safe to use for axolotls?

Also, has any one else used this sand?

Play sand is one of the safest sands to use in axolotl tanks, so I would assume it wouldn't make much difference what brand you use. I do wonder, though, if you're getting some unnatural color of sand? I don't think it would matter much if it was, because you need to wash the sand thoroughly before you put it in the tank anyway.

It bubled a little when doing the vinegar test is this ok? Some people say it's aragonite based sand or silica based sand

I honestly don't know much about sand other than that you're not supposed to use sand with calcium in it. If I'm not mistaken, I believe most sand used in axolotl tanks is silica based(?).
