Sand Question

I've been tankless since moving to our new home 6 years ago. I used to get this incredibly white sand from a seller that's no longer in business, apparently. Has anyone used a bleach mixture to lighten the color of regular aragonite?

I always keep a pair of Jawfish and they need a dsb to thrive

Not sure why you would want to bleach the sand, the color of aragonite sand is very natural.

Personal preference but natural sand comes in many shades. I've dived all over this planet

Do you know any retailer still selling it? I can't find any in an online search. TIA

Probably best to send an email to Bob Stark @ ESV.
