Love the black color, easy to maintain, provides/holds nutrients

Price, not locally available

I began using this sand when I switched over to a planted tank. I love the black sand because it contrasts well with the green plants and it really helps to make the fish pop. I don't even vacuum the poop off of the sand because it just blends right in and my plants eventually use it as fertilizer. Only complaint is I had to order it online and it could be a bit expensive.

I found this to be a very good product. Easy to wash, and the plants seem to do better in it. Its not as black as I would like it, but it still looks really good.
