Calcium based sand does not see PH low enough to buffer anything in a tank. If it did, it would dissolve and we would have to replenish it...like a calcium reactor.

I'm no geologist, but I believe that most of the worlds sea bottom is actually built on quartz based substrate. Can any one else confirm this?
