Still calcium carbonate but a different composition. Is that bad? Guess it depends on how well you subscribe to the "aragonite buffers trace elements very well" theory.

Did you find any at the local rona? In the RC thread they said they don't ship further west then toronto.
As for the calcite & buffering......... I was looking at getting some "Tahitian Black Sand" and I looked at the bag & it said calcite and also that it would not effect the ph in the tank. So I am not sure it will buffer.
