Instructions: For optimum landscaping, use 2 lbs. of gravel per 1 gallon of water. Instructions: Rinse well in tap water to remove loose particles before use. Do not scrub or rub together. Do not use soaps, detergents or bleaches. Wash hands before and after handling. Suggested uses: Create your own unique aquarium environment using one or more colors. Natural underwater settings can be recreated by combing various colors or textures. Enhance the depth of your outdoor goldfish or koi pond with colored gravel, gradually using lighter colors at the edges and darker colors towards the greatest depths.

Raised the ph a whole point

Sharper43

I thought all sand was inert, but now I see it depends on what it’s made of. This package doesn’t say anything about what it’s made of. That should have been the red flag. But if you’re looking to raise your ph, this will do it. I did a very intense rinse before putting in my tank. My ph went from 6.8 to 7.9 within a few days. I kept doing a lot of water changes but it stayed elevated. Sadly, I’ll be removing this sand as best as I can.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Bought this sand because my Cory’s needed something other than gravel. Happy with it so far. It does float a bit but settles right down. So far so good

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not great

I bought this sand a week ago when I started building my tank. This sand raised the pH, gH, and kH of my aquarium by a few degrees (my tap water was already high enough), and I'm gonna have to remove this sand and buy new sand as a result. I don't recommend this product.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Works perfect for planted aquarium setup

ShawnH

1 year ago
Worked perfect on top of dirt to keep planted aquarium going strong and healthy. I washed the black sand before using in my tank just to ensure there was no cloudiness. I also blended white and black sand and it looks awesome. Sand will float with trapper air. This easy to get to fall back down. Maybe fix this well before running a a pump.

Yes, I recommend this product.

    I wanted to add plants to my aquarium. Is this substrate suitable for growing plants? Will they survive?

    1. 4 months ago
      Hi Swiftie13, Good day! The sand will be suitable for growing plants but there are many other factors that go into growing plants successfully such as lighting, CO2 levels, water chemistry, and type of plants. Thanks,

    Is there a more efficient way to rinse? What's the best method?

    1. 1 year ago
      Hi mostlikely, Good day! We recommend simply using a bucket and some water to rinse. Ultimately, it’s personal preference and you can find lot of hacks on youtube but we wouldn’t formally recommend anything we haven’t vetted. Thanks,
