BLACK SAND?

[crxlsturbo]

Let's say you have some geos that love to sift through the sand? I have heard of certain types of sand that will damage they're gills if it's to sharpe and not fine grade? Is black sand like that?

The black diamond looks sharp :/ I know people say it's fine But I don't want to cause damage to any of my polys or cats cause I wanna be cheap. I'd rather pay more so there's no risk of injuries

A lot of geo keepers that tried black diamond switched out soon after, I would search out 3M's replacement, Estes' color quartz if you keep fish that will root through the sand.

I have a 125 gallon 6ft long and I used 1 50lb bag of black diamond for a thin layer that covered the whole bottom

What kind of fish are in there? Any issues?

Check this page http://www.fishlore.com/fishforum/f...artz-ceramaquartz-black-diamond-blasting.html

I bought a few bags of the black diamond blasting sand, but while washing it, ended up with multiple small slivers in my hands. In that link, if you look at each of the three grades of balck diamond you can see the slivers I'm talking about.

I had a fire eel going into the tank and I wasn't about to risk him burrowing into that.

Grow a pair. It's sand dude. Read years and years on experience with black diamond sand. Home Depot play sand was more course imo

I have black diamond in all my tanks. Syno, striped Raphs, Asian sun cats but mostly cichlids. I haven't had any bad experiences.

Do you have eels that burrow into it? Cause that's where I'd see an issue
