Hey guys, bought black sand today as I've half convinced myself to change from the light sand I have currently; can't make my mind up!

That tank will be extremely dark with black sand. I like the white pool filter sand. Not to mention white sand goes good with most backgrounds as well.

Mix some of the light sand with the black sand in a clear glass. You may like the look.

I have a couple tank with black and regular mixed, looks really cool. Only thing is the sand needs to be the same size, or the smaller color will go to the bottom and then your sand will be one color again

I feel that the white sand reflects quite a lot, and bleaches the colours of my cichlids; as its a corner tank, do you reckon the black would add depth front to back for the tank, or detract?

Think of it this way. You're making a black vaccuum. Anything with color is going to pop out tremendously, as well as make them feel quite secure if your painting the sides as well.

Think I'm going to do it, I'll keep the white sand in some buckets in case I ever get the urge to change back.

Just need to net the sand out now, damn.
