Using Black Sand
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		I'd like to ask about black sand.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but the black sand is not calcium-based, it's volcanic rock.   
 
So is it a problem if you don't have the buffering capacity of the calcium sands? 
 
Is it still useful for a DSB? 
 
And is it sharp-edged instead of round-edged? i.e. is it a problem for digging critters or fish like a jawfish? 
 
I really like the way it looks, but I won't use it if it's harmful........ 
 
thanks
