NOT WHITE GRAVEL!!!

Why is this BROWN sand and not WHITE GRAVEL? I did NOT want sand in my tanks. Just be prepared before you order this. It is not white and it is not gravel.

So mad, I was so excited for my white sand to come in so I could start setting up my new tank. But when I opened the box the sand in the bag was straight up brown

So mad, I was so excited for my white sand to come in so I could start setting up my new tank. But when I opened the box the sand in the bag was straight up brown and not even near a whiteish color or even beige. So mad now I have to find the correct color from another brand.
