Live sand is a great choice for new reef tank setups as it clears quickly and contain millions of live bacteria, speeding up your tank's cycle. Unlike other sand choices for saltwater aquariums, which typically come in tan or beige hues, Hawaiian Black sand is unique for its almost entirely black color. The result is a striking contrast between the substrate and the colorful fish and coral within the aquarium.
Note: Hawaiian Black sand may contain some magnetic particles, so it's important to use care when using magnetic glass cleaners near the sand bed.
