The sand itself is not bad. I soaked it for 48 hours and it settled fine. My corydoras did not care for it. It's much too abrasive. They wouldn't even sit on it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Worst sand ever. Over half of the sand floats when you try to wash it or use it. Pretty much unusable unless you cover it up with other gravel.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Looks beautiful in betta tank, was easy to work with. Make sure you rinse in a bucket before putting in aquarium. Also have used with loaches and they love it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

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.

Is there any crushed coral in this? It seems to have raised my pH A LOT.

1 month ago
No crushed coral. Aquarium usually raises ph some temporarily. Iv used this sand in all colors in all my tanks and have not had any real issues but I don’t test for ph unless I think there’s a problem. I rarely lose fish. If you’re cycling a new tank, it should lower. Good luck.

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

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,

Hi Kiko53, Good day! These are not a plant substrate, but plants can still survive if placed in aquariums with this type of sand. Thanks

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

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,
