Description

This sand is reminiscent of the rich soil of the Mississippi Delta Wetlands, with dark browns and earthy tones. 0.8 - 1.2mm in size - it has a dense composition and low fines so does not blow around in your tank. Perfect to create a featured pathway in your aquascape or as a base for a natural 'scape. As a rule of thumb, you need 1lb/gallon, so if you have a 20 gallon tank, 20lbs is enough for a 1/2in layer. If you want to build up the height of your decor or if you have a lower flatter aquarium, change that 1.5-2lbs/gallon

  • Great for a natural theme
Great natural looking substrate. I was making a river theme, and this did well. Plants grew pretty good in it too. I'd buy it again. Priced decently as well. Cleaning it with a gravel vac was simple. If you are looking for a natural theme, this is some good stuff.

  • Super pretty and natural looking substrate
I used one 10 pound bag for a 10 gallon aquarium. Seems to be the right amount for it. This substrate is visually appealing, it looks good, its not sharp and I like the different colors. This is my first time using this brand/substrate and I would buy again. For reference I did *not* wash it prior to use. I put it in my emptied aquarium and set a bag on top of it (per bag instruction) and then poured water in over the bag - absolutely no cloudiness or debris. Very happy. ... show more

  • nice sand
I really liked the color of this sand. It did well for the look I was going for. It does need to be washed thoroughly though to get the dust out. I washed it well, and still got a little bit of cloudiness once filled for the first time, but the filter cleared that out after about 48 hours. One 10lb bag is plenty for a 5-6 gallon tank. ... show more

  • Not quite sand
Excellent substrate. Very tiny. Not quite sand. Loaches and Corydoras love it. Color is very nice. Clean.

  • Good buy
Looks amazing! Very good price for what you get. I washed again just for good measure but really didn’t need to. Very clean stuff!

  • Great sand for aquariums
I highly recommend this sand for your aquarium. My dish loved it so much they would swim and slide across it the first day now they just sit there when they are not active.

  • Perfect substrate.
Best substrate I ever used! Larger than sand but finer than gravel, the pieces are rounded and good for corydoras. Plants grow and spread runners easily in this substrate. In my opinion this is the best inert substrate just supplement with root tabs and you are all set.
