my aquarium silicone is looking a little shotty on my 65 so i may tear it down to reseal it. if i do it will be a good time to change out my substrate (and paint the back glass) i been looking very hard at caribsea blue ridge because i think it looks awesome, but i cant find any in-tank pics of it and was wondering if anyone has it in their tank and could share a pic?

I have it in one of my tanks. It's nice and natural looking, but it didn't end up being nearly as dark as I originally expected. If you have a ton of light, it's not as good. I recently switched to a dimmable LED setup, and it looks a ton better to me now.

I hear you, I was expecting it to be a lot darker myself. I never could find any in store so I just ended up ordering it online sight unseen. I still do like it, but it's not what I would consider a dark color gravel. Definitely looks really natural colored, like a riverbed.

I don't have any good full tank shots where the gravel is in focus, but here's the closest I can find for now. It does look a little darker than this in person, my cell phone camera seems to brighten it artificially (or it just doesn't handle light sources well).
