not what was described
By doug on Sep 11, 2019
The description says 1-1.5 mm grain size. Wrong this is sugar sand with a few shell pieces tossed in. Four days to clear up. Had to clean out filters daily because they were plugged up and overflowing.

GREAT LIVE SAND
By easyed on Apr 7, 2018
My 280 gallon salt water fish tank was set up over 5 years ago ..the old sand died, causing a problem with the water, and killed off several fish (Nitous oxide bulbs) . We removed the old sand, replaced it with 100 lbs of Nature's Ocean, and the tank is fine now..fish are doing much better. Great product ..best price..thank you Chewy ...Edwin

You cannot get any better
By oceandude on Feb 3, 2018
This combined with decent LR and Nature's Ocean Nutri-SeaWater Natural Live Ocean will be awesome for adding livestock in a day or so without a 3-month cycle. When using the LS, use a bit of filter floss to eliminate the natural cloudiness quickly. ;) If not that's cool...
