I like my tanks to be planted and as such I need a substrate. What is the consensus on the Carib Sea Black Tahitian Moon Sand? Is it OK for an Axolotl substrate? Thanks for any advice and info you can provide!

It looks very visually appealing but doesn't seem suitable for Axolotls due to the grain size. This thread shows its not safe: http://www.caudata.org/forum/f46-beginner-newt-salamander-axolotl-help-topics/f48-axolotls-ambystoma-mexicanum/f59-axolotl-tank-set-ups-filters-substrate/80274-warning-about-tahitian-moon-sand.html
I use fine sand, and have always read fine sand is the best to avoid impaction or any other complications.
