Perfect amount
By Chelsea on Jan 4, 2021
This small bag is difficult to find but it's the perfect amount for my 5 gallon tank. Definitely rinse first to get rid of the excess dust, as directed on the bag.

why is it so expensive
By Mj2009 on Sep 17, 2020
It’s a great substrate but for the size of the bag it should not be so expensive I mean a 17 lb bag for $40 come on would not recommend if your on a budget

Fantastic substrate!
By aquariumdad on Sep 10, 2020
Absolutely amazing substrate. It does somewhat cloud the water but that shouldn’t matter as you’re cycling the tank.

Does what it says
By Jhamm on Jun 11, 2020
lowered and softened my water. Shrimp love it. After 1 water change and a week of cycling it was ready to go. I'll be purchasing more in the future.

Perfect for planted tank and shrimp
By Lauren on Sep 22, 2019
This stuff is great if planted tanks or raising shrimp is your goal. I'd recommend rinsing it before putting in the tank & you do not want to use a gravel vac with it.

Fluval is king
By Tapia on Aug 30, 2019
I did alot of searching and research looking for something specific for Plants and shrimp. Lone and behold that was right in the description for this substrate. Chewy just makes it affordable to get.

Holds up well
By Heather on Mar 4, 2018
I have dwarf tears, anubias, java moss, and guppy grass in my tank with no co2 added. I've had the tank about a year now and the pellets are holding their shape and providing for my plants really well even after this long. everything is growing like crazy and the natural look of this product compared to gravel has really pulled my tank together. I would definitely recommend this product to friends. My only advice I didn't have when buying this is to rinse it before adding to tank to reduce cloudiness.
