Review: Beautiful clean sand - I wanted to switch out the gravel I had in my Fluval flex 15 gallon aquarium and replace it with sand. I had no idea what sand to get as I am new to the hobby. I'm so glad I went with this one because this sand is great!! I bought one 10lb bag and the one bag was the perfect amount. It completely covers the bottom of the aquarium and is about an inch and a half deep/tall. It's very fine sand and super white. I rinsed it thoroughly for about 15- 20 minutes in a bucket with a hose. The sand was pretty clean to start with so 15-20 mins was probably overkill but better safe than sorry I always say. The water was never cloudy even right after adding it to the aquarium. I will say I was very careful when adding the sand since I didn't completely empty the water from the aquarium. So all in all I'm very happy with it and will definitely be purchasing again in the future! Review: Beautiful change from previous gravel bottom. - Changed from gravel to sand in 2 fish tanks - no regrets. This sand brightens the look and lends a bit of ocean floor feel to it. The fish in my tanks seem to like the texture. Used 2 + 1/2 10 lbs bags for 20 Gallon tank and close to 1/2 bag for 5 Gallon tank. The hardest part was to completely empty and clean the tanks. Rest was easy - just added the sand and started to replant and added water/fish back. Easy to use/add and then shape the rise/fall with hand. Couldn't believe how clear the water stayed while adding water back - I did that slowly. Once sand was really wet it stayed largely in place and some of the added water made soft natural looking patterns. The sand makes it also easier to see the fish. Definitely would/will buy again. I think this sand is worth the expense. Not able to comment on maintenance since this is only a few days in. ## Features - Triple Washed and Kiln Dried: One of the cleanest aquarium sands available with no toxins, no foreign matter, and 100% natural sand composition - Optimal Grain Size: 0.5 - 1mm in size with a dense composition and zero fines so it does not blow around in your tank - Sustainably Sourced: Ethically and sustainably sourced under license in New Zealand ensuring quality and environmental responsibility - Stunning Off-White Sugar Color: Features a beautiful off-white sugar color and texture that brightens up your tank and contrasts well with aquarium plants and complements any decor - Versatile Application: Suitable for vivariums and terrariums in addition to aquariums and aquascaping projects - Generous 10lb Package: Provides ample substrate material to create your desired aquascape or terrarium landscape with sufficient coverage ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B094QH3SRR | | Additional Features | Triple washed and kiln dried | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,328 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #1 in Aquarium Sand | | Brand | Aqua Natural | | Brand Name | Aqua Natural | | Color | Off White | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,595 Reviews | | Included Components | 1 x 10lb bag of Sugar White Sand | | Item Highlight | Aquascaping, Aquariums, Vivariums, Terrariums | | Item Type Name | Aquarium Substrate | | Item Weight | 4.5 kg | | Manufacturer | Pisces USA | | Manufacturer Part Number | SUGAR010 | | Material | natural sand | | Material Type | natural sand | | Model Number | SUGAR010 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Style | Pet Supplies | | Special Feature | Triple washed and kiln dried | | Specific Uses For Product | Aquariums, Aquascaping, Terrariums, Vivariums | | Style | Pet Supplies | | Unit Count | 160 Ounce | | Vivarium Type | Aquarium | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Aqua Natural - **Color:** Off White - **Included Components:** 1 x 10lb bag of Sugar White Sand - **Item Weight:** 4.5 kg - **Material:** natural sand - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Special Feature:** Triple washed and kiln dried - **Specific Uses For Product:** Aquariums, Aquascaping, Terrariums, Vivariums - **Style:** Pet Supplies ## Images ![Aqua Natural Substrate, Sugar White Sand, 10lb - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51t9UpDIbwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How does this do when vacuuming tank?** A: It vacuums well.
