Review: Beautiful, Clean Substrate That Elevates Any Aquascape - Aqua Natural Galaxy Sand is an excellent substrate for aquascaping. The color is absolutely beautiful in person, a natural blend that adds depth and contrast without overpowering the tank. It gives a clean, modern look and really makes fish colors and plants stand out. One of the biggest positives is how clean this sand is right out of the bag. It required minimal rinsing and didn’t cloud my tank like many other sands I’ve used. The grain size is perfect, fine enough for a smooth, natural appearance but heavy enough that it stays in place and doesn’t constantly get kicked up. It works great for planted tanks, bettas, and bottom-dwelling fish, and it’s gentle on fins and barbels. The sand also holds its shape well for aquascaping, making it easy to create slopes and contours. Overall, this is a high-quality substrate that looks amazing, is easy to work with, and performs exactly as expected. If you’re looking for a reliable, attractive sand for aquascaping, this is a fantastic choice and well worth.
Review: love the look - This sand is very dark black, just what I wanted. Rinsed many times and still made the rinse water dirty and the aquarium water cloudy but not too bad. It does look awesome though. Would recommend and buy again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good looking sand
*by J***E on January 25, 2026*

Really nice sand that looks really good in my tank. The only issues I had is that there was a good amount of particles floating on the very top of the water. I bought 10lbs for a 20-gallon long tank and I way underestimated how much I needed. I ordered another 20lb bag and think that should be perfect. The sand is very consistent in particle size. Would buy again in the future.
