Sand but messy

What can I say, it’s sand and it’s serving it’s purpose in my red eared slider’s tank. The only complaint I have is that a bag came torn so the box and other things I had ordered were covered when they arrived. Created quite the mess unboxing it too. Beyond that, solid product

Not Good for a Red Eared Slider ....disappointed

So firstly, had to really wash it off, which isn't a bad thing. Secondly my RES LOVED it!!! And thirdly (Sadly) her poo sort of made its way through the sand so that there became like layered effect, on top pretty and comfy for my turtle but on the bottom of tank under the sand it got really gunky. No matter how I tried to change the water, it would not stay clean. So again it gathered dirt and on my vets advice I ditched the sand.
