What are you trying to accomplish?
A deeper sand bed for more bacteria?
Just for looks?

Need to give more information so we can help you properly.

black sands are generally igneous.. so watch out for rusting (happened in my 25, with no ill effect, luckily)

other than that.. it's an OK fine grain sand, but will not help to buffer calcium, pH, or alkalinity like aragonite or CC would

it is mostly for looks i was just concerd about like corals and how they would react to it

you'd def. have to suppliment calcium etc.. but as long as there's no major metal deposits in it, it should be fine.. i've seen very nice looking 10 and 15 gallons with black sand
