Aquamaniac I need your help!

I got some bits for my tank today although i am still waiting on my courier to get in contact for delivery.

 
I got 25kg of Unipac Black Gravel/Sand. They call it gravel but i disagree haha.
 
 

I also cut down and replanted a few plants in my other tank hoping they'll root and grow a bit and be ready to be put in my new tank once it arrives.

 
Can you confirm which Unipac product you got exactly please?
 
Was it the Limpopo, it looks too fine to be that, or one of the following (I have listed the whole list not just the black)?
 
 
COLOURED SANDS – 500µ to 600 µ
SILVER SAND – 300µ to 400 µ
SILICA SAND – 1500 µ to 2000 µ
AQUARIUM SILVER SAND – 150 µ to 250 µ
AQUARIUM SILICA SAND – 800 µ to 1000 µ
MAUI COARSE – 1000 µ to 2500 µ
MAUI FINE – 1000 µ to 1600 µ
FIJI COARSE – 1700 µ to 2500µ
FIJI FINE – 1000µ to 2000 µ

I think that's looking good Brilly, well done mate.

 

[Brilly91]

Havent got a clue which one mine is exactly. Ill look next time im at my local ma as thats the only style they stock.
 
Im still not 100% sure on the layout haha but thats probably because ive only been using live plants for a couple of months so still tinkering with ideas.

 

[Brilly91]

Heres a more recent picture of my tank, really pleased with it now
 

 

[Brilly91]
