Can I use in a Tropical Freshwater tank?
Answer by ChewyJul 31, 2022
This sand can be used in a tropical freshwater tank.

How big of a tank does the 40lb bag cover?
Answer by ChewyMar 30, 2022
As a general rule, 1 to 2 pounds per gallon is typical. If you wanted a deeper bed, 80 to 100 pounds would work. If not, 40 to 60 pounds would give you coverage without too much depth. As an example, for a 48 by 12 inch tank, 60 pounds would give you just about a 2 inch bed depth.

is this product safe for young cichlids and in a planted environment . if not what sand do you recccomend
Answer by ChewyFeb 20, 2023
This Sand is suitable for African Cichlids, but not central or south American cichlids. It will push the pH in an aquarium into the 8’s. If the plants and fish are tolerant of this high pH, then it will be fine.

Is this white, beige, tan or ivory substrate?
Answer by ChewyJul 18, 2022
Seaflor special grade Reef Sand is a light weight color. Under most aquarium lighting it shows off a very bright white. Lighting will affect what color it reflects though as it is generally white.

"Carib Sea" reef starter

Super start for Reef Tanks. Great item for price@ Chewy ! This is a super way to jump start your Saltwater Tank. Using this Carib Sea Aragonite material builds great bio-DBS tank floor. With a jump start micro bacteria liquid this is a good way to get fish in your tank in a week or two.

This is A LOT of sand!

Best bang for your buck without doubt. Great for saltwater/reef aquariums. The bag is huge and you will be glad you went with this grade of sand. Looks great, and does not blow around unless you have a high rate of flow going through your tank.

After Lots of Rinsing to get clean.

I purchased 120 lbs on sale at almost half price. It took a lot of rincing to get the water to run clear. The product was a good size and quality otherwise. Very happy at the price I purchased at.

Reef staple

This is the best substrate for the reef aquarium in my opinion. Perfect size for sand sifters and helps maintain PH. Also easy to vacuum for detritus removal
