Wow! Black sand, and it claims it's good for saltwater fish, so I guess it
doesn't have the volcanic metal problems I was worried about. Looks like it's
from Tahiti, which is a very old volcanic chain (much less active than Hawaii,
I believe).
If that sand really works in saltwater, I might be interested in checking it
out myself!

rock. It bounces up and down and then hits a scuba diver right in the face

Thank you all for your amazing knowledge. I am gonna try some out in a
quarantine tank first to be sure and to seed the sand. Then I may do a nano
reef with it. I'll be sure to post the results.

I really don't know if it is. Black Onyx may just be the brand name,
but I'll be buying two bags today, I'll see what Seachem says about
it.
