I would like to use darker sand for my cichlid tank, but I have no idea name of sands that is dark in color. I would appreciate any info on such sand or sands, either I can get locally (like at Home Depot, Lowes, etc) or online.

The cheapest route is 3M Colorquartz T-grade. You will have to contact 3M to find their distributor for your area. You should be able to get it for approx. $19 per 50-pound bag.

Tahitian (spelling???) moon sand is available in LFS. Drs Foster & Smith will deliver any size order for about $6 (including as much sand as you are willing to buy). No tax, good prices and minimal shipping - not a bad route.

Sad isn't it?
 
well it look like Tahitian Moon sand would be the one. Let me ask how many pounds would I need for a 55 gallon tank for about a 2" bed?
