Default Fining with diatomaceous earth

I was reading about fining agents and noticed that 'Sparkolloid'
is diatomaceous earth. I have used diatom powder (a highly refined grade
of diatomaceous earth) in aquarium filters to polish the water. Can this
same powder be used to clear wines by mixing it in, and allowing it to
settle? If so I have a 5lb bag that I could start using.

Thanks
-Rick
