I was looking for different colored sand besides white, who makes different colored sand and is cheap? Also where can you get it?
 
You can usually get the Tahitian Black sand at any LFS even the big chains like Petsmart carry it around here
 
ya but that stuff is expensive like $15 for like 12lbs, i thought about quartz but heard it was discontinued. would crayola sand work? some one once told me about it.
 
coloredsands.com i'm pretty sure its all in 25 lb. increments cheap

Yea I'd be a little worried about putting art sand in a tank, I dont think that stuff is Aquarium safe and I think that Crayola stuff says not aquarium safe on the bag
 
Colorquartz is great, several colors to choose from. I had black sand and was really good for the money
 
its not play sand and i think it is aquarium safe
