1 year in and what a ride!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the kind words. The black sand was a risk because I really couldn't find a lot of info saying it was a good or bad idea. Even when I purchased it at J&L the guy at the counter didn't know if it was reef safe, other than it said so on the bag. But i don't regret my choice. If I could afford LEDs I'm sure the colours would really glow!

I agree with the others. First tank with black sand I've seen that looks good. Great job!!

Many years ago, I had a planted FW tank with black sand. Sure made the green pop out. So not really surprised it would do the same with the corals and the LEDs,... just as long as it is reef safe.
