Has any tried mixing light (tan) and black sand?

[TakeNotes]

I use to have tahitian moon sand (black) as a substrate and I really liked it. Switched over to a more natural look of a tan and beigeish sand. Still miss the black a bit.

Thinking about adding some black sand to the tan sand as my rays need more sand (imo). Any one have pics of tan and black sand mix before I possibly waste 40lbs of tan sand if I don't like the look mixed with black?

Thanks much.

Thanks, I'm thinking of adding white to it to help with contrast for the ray? What do you think?

If anything id say go with more black to make the rays base get darker. That's the direction ill be headed in.

I would only do it with thicker(larger grain) sand. I've mixed pfs and tbms and it didn't look that great imo.

You can always just small amounts of both, say a cup or two of each, and mix it up in a smaller batch and see if you like it.
