We recommend 1-1.5 pounds of substrate per gallon of your aquarium to achieve 2'' substrate. Place sand into a separate container (not your aquarium) to thoroughly rinse sand prior to placing into your aquarium. This will reduce cloudiness when placing into your aquarium, but not all dust or debris will be removed from the initial rinse. We recommend rinsing 2 or 3 times prior to placing sand in the aquarium. What remains will settle or be consumed by your filtration.
Caution: Not Suitable For Children. Rinse Well With Water Before Placing In Aquarium.

Questions

does this have calcium in it? what sand has no calcium?
- Hi Valued Guest, Good day! Because this is a natural silica sand, it is likely to have trace amounts of calcium, and that will be true for all the other natural sands. The black planted substrate (SKU 3865608) for an aquatic set-up as an alternate option if you are looking for something black that is not calcium based. However, this product is coarser than the tan sand. Thanks

is this good for betta fish?
