    I am going to be starting a new ten gallon reef. I have normal white or tan sand and would like to mix black sand into it. Do you guys think this would be a good idea? I getting a burrowing goby of some sorta and another pistol shrimp. Is the black sand bad for the burrowing creatures?

    Will do! It's actually my girlfriend's tank, but I am basically build it for her. She wants to start a thread for it, so the picks will be on that.
