  • Beautiful
Style: Pet Supplies
I love this sand. Each individual sand grain sparkles in the light so once you have it all laid out it looks like a galaxy. Very beautiful. Will buy again

  • Great for flower pots
Style: Pet Supplies
I put about an inch of this in all indoor my flower pots. If there are any bugs in the dirt, they aren't able to get through the sand and fly all over my house.

  • Looks great after multiple rinses
Style: Pet Supplies
Each bag required about 20 minutes of rinsing to get rid of pieces that did not sink and had an initial oily residue. But in the end, it has soft, sandy texture with some subtle, slivery sparkle grains that do not detract from the pure black sand. It has not affect my water chemistry in the past 2 months of us. I am very happy with the finished product. My sand-forging Geophagus and Severum freshwater friends are thriving with it. ... show more

  • Very clean sand
Style: Pet Supplies
I use this sand in every aquarium I have, either alone or to top off a soil planting. Others may find joy in rinsing out other sands many times to prepare it for the aquarium, but I do not. I simply buy this triple washed sand and put it directly into the tank with no dirt or problems. Well worth the money and great value in every way. ... show more

  • Very dusty
Style: Pet Supplies
Good product, just very dirty. Allow several days of tank filtration before adding fish.

  • WARNING On Quantity
Style: Pet Supplies
This sand is very high quality and works great, but I would suggest two bags of sand for a 20 gallon tank. 1 bag will give you roughly 1 inch of sand in a 20 gallon. I just ordered a second bag because I'm using the "father fish" method and that requires 2 inches of sand. 20lbs seems like a lot of sand, but in reality it's a pretty small bag, so just order enough for your tank. ... show more

Just put in today LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN THERE A YEAR, you should definitely refund this so I can actually get some true black sand, WASTE OF MONEY NOT DARK BLACK VERY UNSATISFIED REFUND SHOULD BE IN ORDER ... show more

  • Very pretty, true black color
Style: Pet Supplies
Love the color! Really makes the green plants pop in an aquarium. One notable thing, triple rinse it before use though!
