Black Diamond is coal slag graded specifically for abrasive performance. Hardness and angularity are the product features because it’s engineered to remove coatings from steel. If your substrate is optimized for abrasion, that was the design intent. Cheap and appropriate aren’t synonyms. Fine for hardy fish. Not something I’d use with shrimp or benthic species that live in constant contact with the substrate.
if you want cheap sand that is clean and wont compact because its to fine use pool filter sand don't use blasting sand then get whatever decorative sand you want in a small bag and either blend it to get the color you want or just do a thin layer over the pool filter sand
