Non toxic play sand looks quite natural if you're into natural looking set ups. If you have a large tank then it's also cheap as chips to use as a substrate too. However, it needs to be throughly washed through first or you will have cloudy water every time it's stirred up. It's also very, very fine. I'll leave it for you to decide if the cons outweigh the pros or not.

I bought mine out of Toys R Us. Pretty sure it cost me less than a tenner.
