Best sand
I originally started my tanks with Fiji pink sand and have changed to this. Just the type of sand I was looking for! Perfect grain size for medium to high flow tanks! This stuff stays put and doesn’t blow all over the place like finer particle sands. Way easier to clean as opposed to others where you get more sand sucked up than anything!

Well worth the money
Bought this for my saltwater tank and I think it's the best ! I didn't rinse it I just put it right in my new tank set up and let the filter do the rest ! My tank was clear over night.

Thumbs up
I have had no issues with the product. Looks great, doesn't blow around so Im super happy. I ordered it through amazon from Petco, great sale price but shipping was an opportunity. I ordered 7 bags total, received 2 manufacturer cases of 2 bags each, came perfect. Petco took 3 bags and wrapped them in a thinner outer lining and put them in an oversized box and shipped. As you can imagine it came all jacked up and leaking. 60 lb. box poorly packaged with fluidized items.... Kind of dumb. I only ended up using one of the bags out of that sloppy box and the other 2 bags are now in the garage.

Me agradó mucho su consistencia y calidad sobre todo que ya trae su cultivo de bacterias y su compuesto para disipar la turbidez en el agua, buen producto.
