A few companies do color argonite sand to be used in the SW aquarium. Make sure that it is argonite sand intended for SW use and then it should be fine. It is usually really expensive so I don't think I'd use it in a big tank. I probably wouldn't ever use it because I prefer a natural look, but if you like the dramatic effect, go for it. Black sand might be fun, and it could even look natural since there ARE black sand beaches.

ive got black sand in my 10 gallon. it really makes the fish stand out.

I had black sand in my 55, it looked nice but snail and fish waste stuck out like a sore thumb. I am much happier since i have switched to southdown.
