What are your opinions on black sand?
Won't be able to use mag floats. The stuff is magnetic and will stick to them and scrape up your glass.

I have black sand in one of my tanks and use mag floats you just gotta make sure it does not get on the magfloat I keep mine an inch away from the sand and use an algae scrubber for the bottom.
ok, thanks hank I hadn't thought of that way, I was thinking mainly from a water chemistry standpointThe black sand blasting sand I was told is too sharp for some of our sand stutters, sifters, and burrowers. You should stick to the bagged stuff for black IMO. And will, you're right about the pool filter sand.
Are you using the black diamond blasting sand and is it a SW set up? I have used this sand in FW but have wondered how well it works in salt, haven't seen much discussion about it in salt tanks
