Super Naturals Tahitian Moon Aquarium Sand, 20 Lb, 19 X 12 X 1.75

Tahitian moon sand is probably the best looking black sand on the market.

CONS;

The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it is not good with plants. Like all inert sand, "mulm" (fish waste) isn't able to penetrate the substrate, and the plant roots don't get enough nutrients. I tried using root tab fertilizers, but the sand, in effect, suffocates the roots by not allowing them to spread and grow. SeaChem makes a "flourite black sand" product for a little more, and this is great for plants. However, the grain size is much larger than the TMS.

PROS;

My fish love this stuff, as do I. I like watching my corydoras bury their noses in this sand. They scour the tank for food like little vacuum cleaners, sifting sand through their gills. The deep black really brings out the colors of cichlids and tropical fish.

Be prepared to do some rinsing when you get it. I rinsed it all in a big bucket; it must have taken 20 water changes to clear all the black "dust".

This sand is sure to make any tank look amazing.

Hope this helped

I've tried other sands. This is superior to them. It doesn't need much cleaning, doesn't float and looks great in an aquarium.

I wanted to experiment and go for black sand in my aquarium as opposed to the started blue rocks I usually have. I, unfortunately, didn't like the way it looked. It's really nice, grainy sand that has a classy look to it, but I felt it really darkened my aquarium too much despite its shine.
