Questions & Answers

Can this sand be used for a saltwater tank or fish?

There was nothing I could do to save my fresh water fish from the ice! It wouldn't be a good idea for your aquarium!

Do these sands have dye in them?

The fact this wasn't found in the wild leads me to believe that it didn't grow naturally. I'll also confess that it took a lot of rinsing but I was very pleased with the results! The color turned out very nice. I mixed it with white sand to make it a lighter

Would you recommend a 45 gallon tank be filled with how many bags?

So I would give it 16 if I were to measure my 5 gallon.

Can you tell me about the size of the sand? Looking for sand heavier than paly sand for aquatic waterfalls. ?

There is no sugar in that It is finer than play sand, and about the same size as aquarium sands of medium hardness.

Wash, wash, wash and then wash some more
3/5

Colors like these are so The only good part is that you can rinse sand with it to get crystal clear water. I bought this for an aquarium, and I subscribe to the "rinse your sand to get crystal clear water" theory. In order to get my sand clean, I rinse and stir it everyday. I have never had it completely clean, but it does make There's no denying that this sand desperately needs it. Much better than any sand I have ever used My experiences with this rinse solution indicate that it changes the rinse water to a blue color, and that a lot of it is so fine it just floats and ends up being disposed of. My floating sand is a big mess. I have no idea how much I It's always going to float and get tossed but this is exponentially worse than any I have used in the past. And in my opinion, that gets thrown sand feels like money lost. Unless there is evidence to support its use, I'm on the fence about my blue-tinted rinse water. Rinse water tends to turn a tan color after coming into contact with tanning sand. There are probably just particles involved. It is possible that it is Not 100% sure, so I feel more compelled to rinse until clear to be sure it isn't some sort of dye. Having rinsed about 15 times over the past two days, it finally appears to be working. This is such a beautiful The only thing I can say is that it was good. Otherwise, I would recommend staying away unless you have an incredibly patient nature.

An aquarium sand that requires little maintenance and contains fine grain
4/5

For my aquarium, I bought sand. It was important to me that it be decorated with blue sand. I would have preferred light blue, but that's the only drawback. The texture is very appealing to me. I liked it because it isn't too rough for the fish I plan to keep, and it's not too fine , which caused it all to float, which I had a problem In addition, it did not have any color rinse out and I did not need to rinse it very long. The sand in my tank is not disturbed at all when I pour water into it. I was impressed by how easily I was able to suction and clean it! A majority of the time, it didn't float into the syphon, unless it was be adhered to some kind of I was able to pull away and the sand would just sink back down again. It is therefore my pleasure to say that the sand is very good quality.

The amount of rinsing that I have ever done is the most
3/5

It is not the first time I have purchased colored sand, but I have never spent so much time rinsing until I purchased this product. I hope they take a hint from other brands that do at least some rinsing.

It was a great presentation, but there was one downside
5/5

Only thing I don't like is that the color absorbs the light, making the tank It is time for me to find a more powerful source of light.

Fish that has been killed
3/5

You should not use this. It took me about 20 minutes to put in a few tanks, followed the instructions and killed 100 fish!.

For my axolotls, this is a beautiful bright blue
5/5

After reading the reviews, I was a little concerned, but it worked just as well as any other sand. My tank is up and running without issue after I rinsed and sanitized it a few times.

Sand is hard to find in my pet store
4/5

Only rocks are available there. The color of the shirt worried me a little. In order to keep my established freshwater fish tank stocked with sand, I needed more. A blue sand beach with white rocks and live plants is my favorite. In other words, the sand blends in quite nicely with the design of my current tank.
