Would not buy this again. While it was cheap, it’s coarse and filthy. Took over an hour to rinse just one bag. I’d return the rest I have if I could.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Very cloudy and trash. I had to rinse it 4x. Looked like milk

No, I do not recommend this product.

If you want an aragonite substrate that isn't as fine as sugar-sized sand and isn't as coarse as crushed coral, this is your middle ground. Just remember to rinse it thoroughly or be prepared to deal with a milky aquarium for a good while.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Absolutely filthy sand. It took over an hour to wash 15 lbs of sand by two people. We had to small batch it in a strainer. There was floating black debris and clouds of dust. Previously had bought Nature's Ocean brand and experienced nothing like this. Definitely recommend getting another product.

No, I do not recommend this product.

is it harmful to guppies?

I noticed my fish having spine curvature issues and put it in my tank to give my guppies some calcium. This worked great, and now I have 50 or so fish from just one male and two females.

how many packs of sand for 29g

1 year ago
Hello, I would love to help you with this question but it depends on a couple of things. How high you want your sand and which size bag of sand you plan on buying? The bags come in 5 and 10 lb bags and I used mine for a 10 and 6 gallon tank. I used half and half of the 10lb bag in both tanks and used the other 5lb bag months later for other smaller tanks.
