        • That moon sand is really fine and compacts really easily.

          I love the look but soon after setting up a tank with it I regret it.

                          • The only other nice black sand that I have used with little problems that sand normally have is the Estes brand inert sand. I remember getting it from FRII back when it was the full store.

                            Colored sand with a painted portrait of a clown fish on the bag I think. That stuff is more coarse and works great.

                            • i got a small bucket of this really fine black sand with an aquarium, it looks super cool but it is so fine i am afraid to use it. it will even float on the surface of water. i will find some use for it someday but i was testing it and it does blow around really easily.
