Can you run the Carribsea black sand in a reef tank?

You can but to be honest I’m not sure on the experience others have had with this sand. Let’s see what others say!

Anyone here have a reef with black sand?
I've always been curious about black sand and it seems like it would look really cool but I'd like to hear from you guys' opinions about how the finished tank looks...is it generally used alongside white sand or by itself?

You can, the sand granules have iron in them making some of them magnetic just be careful with your magnetic scrapers and stuff... I experienced slightly more algae growth from it but nothing that couldn’t be controlled with proper nutrient control... I ended up not liking the color myself so I switched from it but it’s nice and looks great in my buddys nano tank lol
