Petco's having a sale on their sand. If you spend 45 dollars the shipping is 4.99. The sand is 15.99 per 20lb. Thought I'd share in case someone is looking to buy. I think the sale ends tomorrow(thursday)

Exactly, my 75 gallon I'm going to use black sand. Some people don't mind spending a little for their show tank. I'm not saying pfs is bad.
I use to love black sand. Just a phase for me though. The black sand is useful to make some fishes colors pop! I still have a few pails of it in my basement.
I had a buddy demand that I set up his sw fish tank with this stuff, and he got diatoms like crazy. It is a silica sand...so just be aware of that.
Apparently the effects are slightly more mild in freshwater. Another member on here is using it in SW without any issues.
Its cool looking for sure, but I dont like substrates you cant use a gravel vac on.

Yeah but for some fish it makes it so they get darker and lose their color - really have to watch what kind of fish you have when using it that's for sure.
Warm up to your LFS owners like i do. I bought 10 5lb bags of black crushed gravel for 30% off. Total was around $30. Way cheap, prob get a discount on the next tank i buy from them. Dude is real nice.
