Black sand does really look good in the pictures, how does it look in real life?

I'm contemplating using black sand in my new tank and have read mixed reviews on it. I also heard some black sand is magnetic and to keep your mag float away from it. Is yours magnetic?

It actually looks much better in person, vs the picture... I've heard about the sand being magnetic, but I use the mag float around the sand with no issues at all.

I hate to tell u this but now is a perfect pony tank . Seahorses rock
Thank you Joe...I appreciate that sir. Yeah, I'll grab 2 seahorses, and probably 2 pipefish for her tank. Lately I've been trying to find more pretty micro algae to place in there to fill in. I'm also gonna fill the rocks in with some various soft corals.
