Tank Substrate Question

[Ace5high]

I really want to use Black Sand substrate in my new tank, but was told it isnt sold aragonite based and so it will not help with PH... Is this true does anyone know if I can get black aragonite based sand?

There are a couple people on here who use black sand...
fastrd400 and Dana42078 do for sure... check out their build threads...

My 10g has black sand (nothing in it yet but saltwater), but I like it so far. Makes everything pop out more.

One of my tanks has black sand. I'm pretty sure it's aragonite.
