Black Blasting Sand??

[bubble1807]

So I was thinking of going for the black sand planted aquarium look as I wanted to change one of my aquariums. I'm in the UK and I'm pretty sure black blasting sand is nonexistent? At least I've not found any!! Anyone know of any being sold anywhere or should I just buy the more expensive aquarium sand? Thanks

Black diamond is sold at $7.99 per 50 pound bag but that's in the US

That's why I'm asking because I really like the look of it !

Is aluminium oxide blasting sand?? Been finding a lot of it but it just doesn't sound right?

I know of two names, but both are in the U.S I don't know about the U.K there is black beauty, and of course black diamond. Can you buy things on amazon? I've seen both of those on amazon too, but more expensive.
