How are you supposed to clean it like you would the gravel?
Answer by ChewyJul 14, 2019
To remove surface debris with a gravel siphon, lower your siphon until it is about ½ inch above the sand’s surface. Move the siphon in a back-and-forth pattern, holding the depth level, as you pick up debris and dirt. You can expect for the siphon to pick up some sand particles with this method. You can then re-rinse those particles and re-introduce them to the tank or you can throw them out. It is often a good idea to add in new sand every few weeks anyway.

IT IS SAND WHAT CAN I SAY

iT WAS WHAT I WANTED AND IS WAS THE CLOSET TO WHITE I COULD FIND. THE OTHER THINGs I purchased were toys which the cat was enthusiastic about but that probably won't last since he has had them for a week. The prices were better on the sand then other place and as much trouble I am having on posting this review I probablt won't post another.

Good price

Bought 8 bags rinsed them out 5-6 before adding into tank. I did poured it with fish still inside. Caused minimal cloudiness and no fish died. It’s not as white as the picture more like beige

Perfectly fine sand!

It works well and looks nice. The white was very white. I would recommend 2-3 bags of this for a 5 gallon tank, especially if you're planting things in it.

not really white

I wanted white, not tan. Perhaps the bags are mismarked. Not happy at all. Thankfully it didn't want to come out of the glass jar I rinsed it in so only a bit made it into my aquarium.

Avoid the white

I wanted to add a pure white sandy bottom to both of my 55 gal. aquariums, but instead I got what appeared to look like dirty sand after I cleaned and rinsed all 30 lbs. (5-lb bags) I would of been better going with the pretty light blue, or the green, or better yet the red. I was under the impression that the white was salt color, but was misled. I dislike the way my tanks look, but will have to put up with them for the next couple of years.

great for hamster sand baths!

Most “sand” that is sold for hamster baths is really dust, which can cause respiratory issues for them. I bought this sand bc it’s very affordable so if it wasn’t a hit, it wouldn’t waste money. Well, all 5 hamsters love it!!! (All live in separate enclosures) They roll in it, pee in it, some eat in it too lol. Definitely a fantastic buy!! I now recommend it to other hamster owners as well
