  • Debris & color
Style: Pet Supplies
The media could not be loaded. I originally only got this sand for the plants I have coming in, BUT, it was practically so pitch black with shimmers of gold, silver, and white specks, I’m getting off track, but it goes great for their sinking foods, won’t have to worry about it leftover food in the tank any longer Really makes bright fish pop even more, and hopefully this will help my plecos keep their dark colors, love it all around. It did take a good while to clean, and I still did not clean it enough, stood for a good hour and a half. I was also clearing all the water out of the tank, saved over half the original tank water in buckets with the fish and plants. Water is cleared up of majority of the debris within 5 hours, I’m sure by the morning time it will be completely clear. And there’s so many people getting different colors in their rocks, I guess you just gotta cross your fingers, and hope you get one that you like. Seen somebody got a bunch of brown in theirs, some had red, and others were just multicolored. ... show more

  • Beautiful!
Style: Pet Supplies
This is actually my favorite sand to use in all of my aquariums! You do need to rinse it super well, so rinse a little longer than you think you need to. It's absolutely beautiful in a tank and will really make your colors pop.

Looks really nice with dragon stone and green plants. I used with a plant substrate as a base layer.

  • Used in all aquariums
Style: Pet Supplies
I’ve used this in all of my aquariums & mixed with pool filter sand. I have 20, 29, 75 and 150g tanks. In the 75g I’m pretty sure I used 3 bags of this. In the 29g, I used 1 bag but my bottom substrate is coarse rock. I like the mix this with the white sand so my tanks don’t look dirty. I have a lot of bottom feeders (corydora, pleco, algae eaters, kuhli loaches) and they all dig in it, bury, etc. ... show more

  • Sparkleyyyy
Style: Pet Supplies
The media could not be loaded. Loved it for our Red Ear slider tank. I definitely had to wash it a few times and it does take about 30 hours to fully settle.
