Not even sure if you can get theis but i would like to change the substrate in my main tank, it has a backroung of lava rock and thought grey sand would make it all look at bit more volcanic, i would get black sand but think it might just be a bit dark in there, any suggestions?

what about Silica Sand, i had that once, its not quite grey, but grey(er) than most sands.

Do you think if i mixed it with a small amount of black sand that would work?

actually mixing sands is probably your best bet i think, also quite rewarding as you can mix it up until you are satisfied with the colour.

bit like an Art Project at school, LOL

but its just the £££ of getting the different sands i guess?
