Fine Black (LIVE) Sand
I'm INTERESTED in really fine black sand that's live. Any ideas or comments?

That would be really awesome as far as looks.... I dont think Ive ever seen black sand in a saltwater tank before, but it would look good!

Also you could just add some really fine black sand and it will buildup bacteria and become "Live" after a month or so anyway!

Agreed ^. Just add the sand into a tank with liverock, it will become live eventually.
