Your sand will sink to the bottom of the eco-complete and not show over time, so if you are going to mix it you may as well not bother with the sand. I love pool filter sand, but if you want black sand try 3M color quarts sand. This place has free shipping. I have used this and it's beautiful!

If you want a good plant substrate I use this:

It only took 1 1/2 buckets for my 178 gallon tank.
Damn, 74.99 with free shipping!!!!!!

I already bought 3 bags of the flourite, their only 15lb bags though. I'll purchase the 6lb bucket and that should fill it up mostly. Thanks guys!!!
