Pool Filter & Black Tahitian Moon Sand mixed?

[95Harley]

I'm replacing my Black gravel as it makes my tank look dark and dressing. I thought about going to just pool sand but every time I have went lighter sub my fish looked washed out.

I was considering mixing 50/50 but have NO IDEA what it would look like and I can't seem to find any pics on the web.

Anyone here did it? Like it, Hate it, pics?

Ill try to find it, I origionally found it by accident looking for something else. If you want to see what white/black look like together look at the substrate for those chiclid or whatever fish they are.

I kind of like that. I might give it a shot in a bowl to see what it looks like and if ti works go wild.

say 50-100lbs of Pool Sand and 40-60lbs of BT moon. More or less on either to meet the look.

I actually have some black moon mixed w/ crushed coral (white) left over from my old african cichlid tank. I'll try and remember to get some pix if you'd like.

LOL Don't get any bottom dwellers or cichlids.

I like the black white mix when the percentage is more black than white.
