Review: Excellent product. Great value - Extremely convenient to use, just take it out of the bag and add it straight to the tank. The quality is excellent: very soft texture, ideal grain size, and a beautiful, natural-looking color. By far the best substrate I've used. It comes pre-moistened, so you can pour it right in, and any cloudiness clears up really quick. I combined the white sand with fine gravel for a realistic look in my 5-gallon tank. Works perfectly!
Review: You need this for your aquarium! - Whoever thought of this is a genius! Easy to get out of the bag and into the tank, high quality, super soft and perfect grain size, and the color is super nice and natural looking! But the fact that it has the beneficial bacteria defiantly makes it 100% worth the money! It's perfect for getting the nitrogen cycle started in a new tank and I would recommend it to anyone, beginner or experienced! I actually already ordered more. (Also, just spend the extra 2 bucks for 10pounds of it, 5pounds isn't a lot and considering you can get twice the amount for only 2 dollars extra you might as well do it!)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful white.
*by A***M on November 19, 2024*

I have a charcoal substance and my fish was knocking my plants loose from playing in them. I poured this substance around my plants because it is finer and more dense than my black substance which keeps my plants in place. While feeding them and keeping my tank healthy. My fish plays hard and rubs his belly into the sand. He doesn't seem bothered because he keeps playing. Looks great and seems soft because my fish would not be so playful if it hurt him. My tank stays pretty clean. My Cory fish seems to enjoy it as well. Has the functionality of feeding nutrition to the tank and adding a beautiful sugar-white color to the tank.
