Tropic Isle Tahitian Moon Sand???

[HeavyHittah]

Has anyone used or knows about this Tropic Isle Tahitian Moon Sand?? Came across it and liked it because it was different but if it isnt beneficial then there's no need to get it, you know.

Also what are some of you guys favorite substrates for saltwater tanks?, does anyone know about this one:

the second one is beter, its live. imo its not worth getting non live sand.

To be honest, i never seen people use that kind of sand before. Im not sure what pro's or con;s there are to it.

Personally though, i dont think it will give me that "reef" feeling i get with white sand. White reflects color back which im not sure will matter in the case of reefs, but the tank will definitely look brighter.

I know that aragonite sand (like the second link) has buffering capacity against pH swings, which is important. I don't know if the black sand has the same properties.

Use the second one because its aragonite and will help buffer your tank.The first one will not.

the first is also a really fine sand. it will be really really easy to cloud your tank if you use it. aragonite is a little larger grains, but not huge. its the sand I have used in all 3 of my aquarums

I chose the CaribSea AragAlive Fiji Pink and it looks pretty nice to me. I have heard the black sand can make the fish colors stand out a little more, however to me it doesn't look like what i think of when I think ocean.
