Nice sand

This sand is really good looking, and you can't beat the price Chewy gets for it. Just be sure to give it a good rinsing before you put it in your tank.

I bought this because it said it was like fine gravel but it is NOT fine gravel it IS sand. I looked for a return for refund and apparently chewy has no return for refund so I'm stuck with the product. I'm not saying it's horrible but I do not like sand and did not want sand.

I got the sand about 2 weeks ago and sat up the tank for fish requiring a higher PH. I Googled the sand and it said that it doesn't hold a high PH by itself. My city water has a PH of 7.5. I love the color and it looks great in my tank. I also got a stump from Chewy for this tank. I'm so happy with it.
