Good but cheaper options available
Size: (Pack of 1)
Beautiful sand- was more than enough to cover a 5 gallon . More expensive than the blasting sand from my local farm store however. Pretty, but will stick to the cheaper stuff. Aquarium tax is a thing i suppose.

love the look
Size: (Pack of 1)
This sand is very dark black, just what I wanted. Rinsed many times and still made the rinse water dirty and the aquarium water cloudy but not too bad. It does look awesome though. Would recommend and buy again.

Good looking sand
Size: (Pack of 1)
Really nice sand that looks really good in my tank. The only issues I had is that there was a good amount of particles floating on the very top of the water. I bought 10lbs for a 20-gallon long tank and I way underestimated how much I needed. I ordered another 20lb bag and think that should be perfect. The sand is very consistent in particle size. Would buy again in the future.

Great substrate, soft and high quality!
Size: (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this Aqua Natural Galaxy Sand! It is fine and soft and my Cory-catfish loves digging in it. It also has worked well for planting live aquatic plants, although you have to use a weight attached to the plant. Otherwise the plants will float up, especially since the catfish loves to dig around the plants.! But the plants grow well in this sand and the nite-out bacteria seem to flourish in it. I only change the sand once every few months, to allow the good bacteria to grow. There is a bit of cloudiness when first adding the sand to the tank, but I bought a sponge filter, and let it run for a few hours before adding fish back into the tank. And I’ve never had any fish die after adding sand. I don’t even rinse the sand.. just let the filter do the work! Overall, really great substrate, although it is really pricey, I think it is worth the money because I don’t have to change it often. I always buy the black color which hides and camouflage algae growth.

Arrived broken but still very happy with the purchase Arrived broken but still very happy with the purchase
Size: (Pack of 1)
Purchased with several other things, annddddddd the bag had a huge gash in the front. Spilled all over the contents of the box, and all over my porch, and probably the amazon guys truck. But it's okay cause they sent me a new bag at no cost. Moving on, I purchased this after buying some kuhli loaches, and learning only after I bought them that they like to burrow! I had a bunch of gravel and that just wouldn't suffice. So I got this to create kinda a "half kuhli" side where they can feel safe to burrow. It's not as black as I wanted it, it's kinda a grey-black-brownish. I realized only after I bought it's called galaxy and they actually do, in fact, have one that's just black. But either way, this one is still nice! It's pretty, it sparkles a little bit under the water. My kuhlis, and even the cuckoo catfish, seem to love it. I didn't rinse it before dumping it in my tank.. I probably should have because it clouded up my water real bad. I ended up doing a partial water change but by the next day it was crystal clear again. All my fish were fine. All in all, I'd buy this again. I think 10 pounds is a good amount for the price. It gets sucked up by my vacuum hose which is mildly irritating, but I think you're always going to have that with any kind of gravel.

Definitely happy with this purchase!
Size: (Pack of 1)
We absolutely love this sand! The black color looks so clean and really made all of our plants, wood, and decor pop in the tank. It worked perfectly with the overall look we were going for and gave everything a more natural, high-end feel. Definitely happy with this purchase!

Looks great Looks great
Size: (Pack of 1)
Looks great in my 9 gallon aquarium.it did take a while to wash and rinse it clear I would say I washed and rinsed about 10 times once I put it in my aquarium and filled it with water. The aquarium was clear almost immediately. Just remember to be sure to rinse until clear before adding to your tank.
