I believe I read on here in the past that old Castle is the same as SOuthdown just a different or new name for the same old product. I am almost positive of that, or at least that it is good for tanks. Someone else should chime in soon.

So is the conclusion that it is safe to use this sand from Home Depot?
I am in California and I am at the point that I need new sand for my new 36 gallon tank. Could I take that sku number and figure to get the right sand for my tank? What do you think?
Thanks,
