I have about 100 lbs Aragonite oolitic sand. I was going to use it for my build but decided it is too fine, and it will most likely get blown around by gyres. Clean, dry and good to go.

Looking into this more, and it looks like it is expected. Apparently adding rock, no matter how clean will add to the TDS reading. I just didnt expect it to be this bloody high. 880ppm... jeebus.
