hi,
you should never use marine sand in any freshwater tank because its is made up of crushed coral and therefore your pH value will increase which is not ideal for plants and most fish apart however you can go to argos for play sand jewson for kiln dried sand or b&q for play sand which ever one it will work out alot cheaper and look the same as it would silver sand however it will need cleaning alot more or you can use filter wool/filter floss and should clear within a day or 2 depending on turnover
AnswerAnother word for marine sand is "live sand." It's full of microorganisms and small invertebrates. None of the animals in live sand can live in freshwater, so they'll all die and contaminate your tank.
What else can I help you with?

Can Bettas live in a marine sand plus conditioned tap water tank?
Marine sand usually has salt and additives in it for salt water aquariums so it is not a good idea. There are freshwater sands that would work much better and there would be no question of suitability.
Can the sand from a previous saltwater aquarium be used for a freshwater tank?
No, i wouldn't use it in the freshwater tank. It's been sitting in salt for quite a while, and chances are your salt water sand is comprised of bits of shells. They will throw off the chemistry of your tank and lead to fish loss.
Can you keep a regal tang in a tropical tank?
No. Not in the traditional definition of the tropical tank. A tropical tank is a freshwater aquarium. Regal Tangs are saltwater fish and go in a saltwater tank (marine aquarium).

What is a sentence for the word freshwater?
I filled the tank with freshwater.
Can you keep a lobster for a pet?
Well you could, but you are looking at setting up a BIG coldwater marine tank, filters and probably a chiller to keep the water cool. More practical. Get a freshwater crayfish. They are smaller, and can live in normal freshwater, cold or tropical depending on the species. They need a normal filtered fish tank, but a 10gal tank with a freshwater cray is perfectly practical, compared to a 200gal marine tank anyway.
If a marine iguana were to spend a few days in a fresh water tank would it continue to blow salt droplets from its nostrils Why or why not?
If a marine iguana were to spend a few days in a freshwater tank, it would likely stop blowing salt droplets from its nostrils. This is because marine iguanas have specialized glands that excrete excess salt, which they primarily use when they consume seawater. In a freshwater environment, there would be no need to expel salt, as they wouldn't be taking in excess salt from their surroundings.
Can a freshwater tank become a salt water tank?
Yes but you need to buy a saltwater filter to replace the freshwater one.
Can you use rainwater in fish tank?
no because if its a freshwater tank the rain has salt in it
Can starfish survive in a fish tank with fresh water fish?
No. They are too weak to get along and they do not have fins so they can only stay at the seabed.
