Great Sand
By PamB on May 10, 2019
our package arrived on time and just as described. I never knew you could have sand for a freshwater aquarium and this is made for it. It helps keep your tank clean and free of nitrates/nitrites also. I would always recommend anything Chewy sells. Chewy always ships on time and has great products!

I loved it
By Frank on Mar 7, 2019
I was scared to buy at first because of reviews but I just dumped the dry sand damped it a little in my tank then decorated a little, then filled it up by pouring the water on bowl, it was a little cloudy for about 2hrs but when it settled it looked wonderful and was ready for some plants and fish!

Not really sure if I like product.
By Jeannie on Dec 28, 2018
I called and talked with customer service. We decide this was what I needed for new tank. But sand was so cloudy even after rinsing it well. Some floated on top for weeks. Tanked cleared up once filter ran for a few days.

An excellent product
By Kris on Sep 12, 2018
I love this sand! Upon getting it I followed the instructions on the bag for washing it then drained my tank till there were only 2inchs of water left. I put the sand in then drained a little bit more water before filling it. When it was filled I added the clearifier packet and within a few hours it was cleared up. My axolotl loves it.

Do not recommend
By Mary on Jul 21, 2018
The sand was so fine, the tank kept getting cloudy when the filter was on. Ended up changing the water 4 times before discarding the sand and getting something else.
