I knew there's been some discussion on whether or not saltwater- specific black sand is actually OK for a reef tank, but what about a more generic black sand? I'm talking Petco's cheapest, inert, fine black sand. It feels decently silky, but not so fine that it can't settle quickly after being disturbed.
I'm looking at using it in a 2.5 gallon, ~3/4" layer. Possibly a reef only tank, with no fish planned.
Compaction seems like it might be an issue, but with enough snails or sand- sifting beings it seems perfectly reasonable to overcome. Any other issues I should consider?
