I have been researching this recently to use in a low maintenance planted tank instead of sand over a layer of another substrate. I could find no decent pics online, so I bought some today and thought I'd share. I got it from blue ocean aquatics in attercliffe, sheffield. Bit of a trek, but worth it to see what it looked like before buying.
It comes in a 7kg bag, cost me £25. It says that covers 5500 cm3 or 325 cu inches. I reckoned that to be a layer 3cm deep in my 60x30cm tank.
I wanted it to be suitable for cories and I think it's fine enough
It's a good black too-it's damp in the bag (and in the picture) but when dry is quite a light grey.
I'm really hoping I manage to have a successful planted tank with it, so fingers crossed
