Anyone used this stuff in a large tank? I like the natural look.

you mean the tahitan moon sand? (Super Naturals-Caribbsea)
Sand

I am using this, the only problem is it is slightly magnetic, so there is an Iron content in it, i also know of several other using it with no problems other then magnetism.

Nope he means caribsea pacific black and i use it in my 20g and love it its a mix of diff sizes so if u have or plan on having wrasses and other sensitive sand dwelling creatures u may have to go with a bit of a finer sand but most will be fine as my ceriths dig into in just fine and my pistol shrimp seems to like the fact that it comes with small rocks n shells because he is constantly digging around for large pieces to stuff into cracks to make covers for his tunnels. Kinda funny watching him carry these huge pieces around the tank lol

Went with 260 lbs of it and i really like it. It's not the standard white you always see but looks rather natural.
