    It is perfectly safe, it's only a few mm larger than caribea moonlight sand. They pose no risk to frogs, unless they somehow ate a ton of it.. which I don't see how that is possible.

    As far as filters, if you value your filter, I would suggest sunset gold. If you do not fuss about in your tank that much and don't kick the sand up often, either would work fine.

    I also figured the coarser grained sand would hold in live plants better. Placing an order now!

    I like those black fluorite sand. Makes albino ACFs stand out better and adding a floating plant filtered, soft light adds a dramatic effect as well. They're kinda pricey where i'm at though
