Home despot has sand called "High Desert Play Sand" by Pavestone that's a calcium carbonate sand. It's in a yellow and purple plastic bag, and runs about $6/50 lbs. Rinse the hell out of it before you add it to your tank, though. Here's a recent thread about it...

I have playsand in my tank.. but wish i didn't. The color isn't as white as other peoples tanks, i wish i had just gotten normal sand.... but it doesn't have any ill affects other than that.

I've had the Pavestone High Dessert play sand in my tank for over a year now and no problems.It's a pretty clean white.I just added another 50 lbs. when I made the switch to the 90 gallon.And there's about 25 lbs. down in my refugium.
You do have to rinse it like crazy first.

is this the one

where do you get that one from?

 

[stingythingy45]

That's the stuff.Same stuff I used in my tank.
If you put vinegar to it,it will bubble like crazy.
It's definitely calcium based.
