Is there a place that anyone would recommend, I think black sand would look awsome in a tank to help bring out the corals more.I need to get new sand when i move to start off fresh again.

The black sand isn't as cool as you would think. Yes it does look cool at first but after a while it shows the detritus a LOT. It will never really look clean. Not to mention that the black sand will absorb all the light that hits it where as the white will reflect the light back into the tank. I tried the black sand a few times and really didn't care for it.

Sorry I have to disagree we are using the Hawiian Black sand and you don't see anything in the sand it hides any algae. There has been no issues with the corals with absorption in fact I think all my corals in the sand are extremely happy. MHO

I was using the Tahitian black sand so that may have had something to do with it. It just didn't work for me.
