Onyx Sand

Question
I am trying to start a tank with plant and fish in it. Have done some research and it looks like a good bottom for the plants is the onyx sand. Where can I purchase Onyx sand local? What kind of stores sell it?

Answer
Hi Tyler:  There are a variety of sands that will work for your tank.  Black Beauty sand is one that I use a lot... Just keep in mind that sand is a lot harder to clean then gravel.  How big is your tank??? what kind of fish are you going to keep??? what kind of plants???? dave
