No sand filters need to use the exact type of sand required if you do not use this sand one of two things will happen, the first thing that could occur would be you used larger grit sand, this would affect your filtration and possibly cause damage to your laterals or sand bed, if you used smaller sand you would have the problem of your sand clogging your laterals and it sand bed, or worse completely exiting the filter and ending up on the bottom of your pool. Regardless entirely unadvisable.

How do you prepare a fish tank filter?
If you have a power filter it should come with the required filter media. Firstly follow the directions on how to position the filter and where to place the media. If the aquarium is a planted one there is no need to do much other than turn it on because the plants will have some good aerobic bacteria that will end up lodged in the filter media where you want it. If the tank is a bare tank you will need to cycle the filter either by adding some old but freshly used filter media or purchasing some filter cycling bacteria at a pet shop. There is another more complicated method using Ammonia but I won't go into that here. If the filter is air as opposed to power driven, you can use whatever filter media is recommended by the pet shop and use the above techniques to cycle it.

A media filter is a type of filter utilizing a bed of sand, crushed granite or other material to filter water for drinking, swimming pools, aquaculture, irrigation, and other applications.One design brings the water in the top of a container through a "header" which distributes the water evenly. The filter "media" start with fine sand on the top and then graduatingly coarser sand in a number of layers followed by gravel on the bottom, in gradually larger sizes. The top sand physically removes particles from the water. The job of the subsequent layers is to support the finer layer above and provide efficient drainage. (This answer is from wikipedia)
