Default re sand

If I may make a suggestion, have you thought about play sand.
I might look at putting playsand as the base than put the argonite as a top layer if you are concerned with looks
Home depot has playsand at 55 lbs for 5 bucks.
ALOT cheaper option.
I use playsand in a couple of my tanks with no noticable problems at all.
All the research I did on the subject suggests that the pH buffering abilities of the argonite is negilible.
So yeah..just an idea to save you a few bucks - if that is any concern at all.
Nothing wrong with saving a few bucks
Just my 2 cents worth
