Note: Diff sources has diff grades of C0...some would be finer than others...from my experiences of purchasing 20~30 packets of 10kg of C0 in the last 24 months.
thanks bros. ya, makes sense if the substrate can use to buffer - might as well use it. Bro Brichardi - will PM you on the recommendation to get the finest C0.

btw if you want really fine sand, play sand is good (and cheap)
but it wont affect pH if you intend to use sand as a pH buffer
