Marine Sand

[kiriyama]

Hi , I was trying to locate black sand and wishing to use it over the top of coral sand , was on the phone to local Dobbies Garden Centre (spelling?) , was talking to someone at there aquatics , the guy said the only thing they gad was black marine sand , would this be ok to use in a cichlid tank ?
Thanks in advance for any answers.....

Unless it's live sand most "marine sand" I see is aragonite which is perfect for your tank.

I know they make black aragonite sand as I've been trying to source if for the tank I'm setting up.

Cheers, when I'm in will triple check it's aragonite, fingers crossed
