Flourite Black Sand or Black Tahitian Sand??

[PhongTran1]

ok im planning on getting black sand for my tank but then i dont know which one would be better. Can i get some suggestions?

They both are cool, but the flourite black sand would be good if you were thinking about adding some plants. Otherwise I think they look the same basically. I actually bought a 15 lb bag of the flourite black sand, I was originally gonna get the tahitian black sand, but chose the flourite cause its more versatile.

which one costs more?

I think the flourite one is a tiny bit more. Maybe like 2-3 dollars. Im not sure, cant remember.

So they both look exactly alike right?

Can someone post pictures?

I'm trying to decide between pool filter sand, tahitian moon, or flourite black for new 65 gallon.

TAhitian is a little more homgenous but both are beautiful sands you could even mix both and get the benefits of the flourite sand if live plants are planned.

What will be your stocking?

I hear Tahitian moon sand is not good for anything with a soft belly, or for loaches, eartheaters, or even catfish as its very sharp sand.
