Is there anywhere close to Roy that I could run out and fill a 5 gallon bucket with sand for my tank?  I have enough live sand for my 90 but not enough for the 110 so want to mix the Live and Utah sand.  If there's nowhere close can I pick up playground sand at Home Depot and if so, what kind/brand is safe?  Will the addition of base sand cause any huge cycle spike?  It will be about 50% live and 50% dead.  Oh oooof course I need it within the next few hours.

I wouldn't use playground sand because it is all silicates. This would cause you a major silicate problem.
As for other sand, I don't know of any, sorry.
