Since Seachem is coming out with black flourite, I'm considering using it as a base and laying black sand over it for a completely black substrate. With this in mind, I'm looking for the best source of black sand and janitorial supply stores keep popping up in my searches.
Urn sand is the really fine sand that you see in those cylindrical ash trays. The really nice hotels will sometimes stamp their hotel logo into the sand. It's so fine that it feels extremely soft to the touch.
Does anyone know why this wouldn't work well in an aquarium? I guess my main concern would be clouding from the fish/filtration disturbing the sand. I don't think any chemicals are used on it, but I really don't know.
There's also black sand labeled as soil cover is another possability, but I hate to order some only to find out it isn't ideal.
Thanks
