    Really love the color of this substrate. I planted my water grass using 10 lbs of wet substrate (sand) and combined it with a 5lb bag of dry substrate(sand). Then I sprayed my seeds after very gently covering them with some sand.

    Spraying them with water very day and giving them light will help them grow. I also covered the tank in plastic wrap to properly germinate and give them the moisture they needed. Once I took off the plastic wrap (after two weeks) I noticed the seeds started burning under my light after two days so I quickly filled my tank with water and turned on my filter for a few days and the seeds grew bright green! This sand. Is perfect for new timers trying to build a nice tank. Quality is great and it stays in place! 15 lbs of sand for my 22 gallon tank works perfectly. The grains are very fine/small but don’t clog your tank.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful TAN sand
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2024
    I had returned some gravel that I really liked because it was the same color ( tan) as my hardscape in my tank thereby making everything all the same color. After all the expense and time devoted to making a nice tank I want some contrast so I purchased this sand. The description said it was off white which was perfect. It arrived well packaged in a bag and it looked very white. I placed everything its place and it was perfect until adding water and finding out this is very tan ( think California beach) sand. My tank is now all one color! Very disappointed.

    I recently purchased white aquarium sand for my fish tank and I must say, I am extremely pleased with the results. The sand has a beautiful white color that adds a touch of elegance to the tank. It also creates a bright and clean environment for my fish, enhancing their colors and making them stand out even more. The texture of the sand is smooth and fine, making it comfortable for my fish to swim and explore. Additionally, the sand is easy to clean and maintain, keeping the water quality in check. Overall, I highly recommend white aquarium sand for anyone looking to create a stunning and healthy aquatic habitat.

    After researching how to maintain healthy tank without frequent cleaning and changing water, this was the answer.! Test after test… our maintenance time reduced so much and less frequent. Can’t explain how much we appreciate this product.

    It is very important to have the sand washed and washed. Once they go in the tank, let filter system run for 24-48 hours before adding fishes. Be sure you have great filter system. We have 2 in ours. We changed filter again before adding fishes.

    So we used this sand in our 36 gallons, for 6 months then we decided to get 72 gallons.

    *No more dirty water
    *No more changing water (just adding water when needed)
    *No more dead fishes

    We tested monthly and only one issue was the ph was high at some point then we got it under control.

    We are just happy happy!!!! Thank you!
