I wouldn't say detritus, but instead bits and pieces of the rocks themselves that fall off and collect on the sand.

Of course it all dosen't matter when you have 1000+ baby cerith snails living in it. These little shells are everywhere... especially at night. (they cover the sand in a sea of white) They are starting to get bigger and head up on the rocks now, so it's been interesting to watch.

Where do you get black sand? It looks great.

I really like the look of the black sand. Hard to decide whether to switch to the black or go bare bottom. Anyways looks great.

I also had black sand at one point, but larger sized granuals. I had sea chem's tidal sand I believe it was called. It looked cleaner overall then white sand, but I found that the larger size wasn't as attractive as say the sugar sand variety.

I've got black in my 33Gal.
It look's great if you have the time to maintain it.
Otherwise you end up with little white bits all over it.
