Save yourself the hassle ... Petco sells store brand black sand. It's what I use in my shrimp tank.

I was wondering what that (Petco black sand) was like. The grains are shiny, correct? Looks consistently dark...nice for a shrimp tank. Kind of wished I got that instead of the Eco-complete; but it was on sale for $9 per bag I could not pass it up. The EC is mostly black but there are other colors present as well (red, gray).

I'm from Long Island but I've never looked for it, probably better off getting it online.

They are a bit shiny I suppose. I like the way it looks, gives the substrate a nice uniform dark color ... Much like photos i've seen of black blasting sand.
