You do not need a sand bed. Some fish and corals do but just avoid these. The sand does help reflect light but it's still got it's pros and cons. I like the look of sand beds but hated trying to keep it white, then I got a diamond goby and problem solved.

Normal for there to be some iron content in black sand . Iron in a tank isnt a problem gfo is granular feric oxide (rust) .The only issue is scratches in your tank from sand sticking to your mag float.
