Has anyone here ever tried or researched the Seachem Onyx sand? I gather that it’s fairly new, and is geared towards being a planted substrate. This stuff looks very appealing, I may actually consider buying some. We got a bag shipped to my workplace on accident yesterday, and I offered to take it home until the owner told me that he would send it back in exchange for the Flourite that was originally supposed to come. I really like the look of this stuff, and though it does slightly buffer water I could still feasibly use it in my upcoming tank. It’s too bad I’m not going all-out on plants. Anyways, comments on Seachem Onyx?

It does come in a gravel form as well.

And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I had investigated the product but I was put off by the residual dust warning and by the rise in pH due to my fish choices. The lfs had the gravel also and the granular size was not excessive...
