Gorgeous looking tank...but...all that equipment (controllers etc) for a 12 gal tank? It is great looking!!!! Love the look.
Black sand is not bad for the tank. Why is it bad?
People say it contains iron, I put a magnet next to mine and not one grain of sand stuck to it. Where is the iron?
If you say something is bad, back it up with links please.
I had black sand in my Biocube and it was magnetic. It would stick to my mag-float if I got to close to the sand. But, I never had any problems with it in my tank.

so its the Hawaiian black sand that is bad because it is made primarily of basalt and will eventually start to leach? but the dry artificially colored black sand is ok to use??
My sand is a little over 1 year old and looks the same as day one.
What will Hawaiian sand leach?
Does anyone have any links that talk about what sand is good and bad (some sort of study with facts) or is everyone just going to keep repeating things they read in other forums or hear?
