Being it has live bacteria in it you may wish to rinse it in dechlor water then bake it.

kept having many pop up windows jumping up, even after closing it.

As for the moonlight sand it looks almost like a powder in nature when I blew up the picture. CaribSea Aragamax Sugar Sized Sand is an oolitic sand, it is a rounded sand so it does not have the jagged edges. I did not see this about the moonlight sand but it does appear to have some largeer (gravel) size grains too.

In case rget don't like it, maybe put a small amount in a container that can easily be removed, washed and cleaned to be reused in your fish tank?
