Substrate Pics
Does anyone have the Indo Pacific (black and white sand) or Tahitian (mostly black sand) in their tanks? Do you have any pictures or know where some are? Trying to get a visual image before i buy anything?

dtbradly,
I had the black sand in my 90 gal and ended up changing it totally. Black absorbs light  I found that my corraline algae was not growing as it did in my 55 gal tank. It looks cool for little while, but the light is not reflected as it is with white sand. If you have not already done so i would just stick to white sand.Hope that helps, Henry

I always hear people say the same thing, looks good at first, but doesn't stay that way.
