Great sand
By Scott89 on May 6, 2021
Good sand. Nice grain size. Wave maker doesn’t blow it any. Not as much pink as it looks in the picture.

Great Looking Sand
By scooter8410 on Mar 21, 2020
I paid just a little over $12 a bag and am very happy with this sand. It is very fine so you wouldn't want to put direct flow on it.

Did not rinse. Added to brackish water aquarium, then filled with water. A little clouding but cleared up overnight with filtration.

Beautiful!
By Scooby on Feb 6, 2019
This is really beautiful sand. It does have a pink color to it. I am hoping the color will stay as my tank ages. Looks great so far and I like the option of using live sand. The local stores did not have this option to purchase. Shipped fast.

The most beautiful and best sand
By Marinedude727 on Jul 21, 2018
It's amazing to say the least.. Not only is the color bright, vibrant, but it is not over the top. It displays gorgeous pink which reflects great on the rest of your tanks community, especially pink feather dusters, ultra green gonis, and trumpet corals look amazing paired with this sand as the substrate, cough cough but what wouldn't?:) To add, this sand has millions of beneficial bacteria, allowing for immediate introduction of fish with the use of natures ocean sea water. This company is my go to for all my water and sand needs. I purchased 40lbs for a 30 gallon acrylic show. Nature's ocean baby! Pictures just don't do the justice as having this beautiful and in person!

Doesn't seem all natural
By Rae507 on Jul 27, 2018 top500Contributor
I was really hoping for a natural sand with pink pieces like in the photos, but the bag I received looks like the pink pieces have been artificially dyed. It's very noticeable since they are all the exact same shade of pink. I ended up using a different product to keep with the natural theme of my tank.

Clean -- good value
By McGene on Jun 13, 2018
Got this for a smaller reef system to work with BIO-Spira to begin my nitrogen cycle. Should know more about how well it works in a few weeks. The sand, itself, looks excellent.
