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!)
Review: Product is as described, goby approved - Product is as described. The fact that it's pre-moisened really makes it easier to install without making as much of a mess, and much clearer water after. It looks good and our gobies and brittle star seem to enjoy burrowing in it.
