I want to change from gravel to sand, but having a tough time in choosing which to go for. I would like to go for a black sand but all the LFS near me only sell the fine black gravel, no good lol.

Anybody recommend some?, possibly which they sell at MA?
 
Unipac black sand too, Put it in my 200L love it.

Nice, I saw that you got blue lights / LED's in your tank, how does it look with the black sand?
 
If you want to bring the color out in them then defiantly get the black sand. It makes everything much brighter while light sand seems to make it duller.

Interesting, in regards to fish waste #2's and that does it show up lot more?, or does the black sand sort of masks it in way,lol :s

You can see it pretty clearly on the black, but it stands out like a sore thumb on white sand. I have a pleco on sand and usually do tiny water changes each day because I can see the poop and it bothers me. When I first got white sand I switched to black sand about 2 weeks latter because the poop was so visible.
