Questions & Answers

4 Customer Questions

I have not seen this sand in any aquarium to compare. Does anybody have any photos? I am doing a FO salt tank and was wondering if the fish would display better or not as well? I kind of like the idea of having something different than anybody else. Can anybody help?

A photo of the color is attached for reference.

Can you mix this sand with different color sand from the same company

Answer by Chewy • Oct 21, 2022
The Nature's Ocean Bio-Activ Live Sand colors can be mixed together without an issue.

Is this sand able to be deeply piled for a fiddler crab and not get stinky?

Answer by Chewy • May 09, 2019
Depending on the environment that is being set up for your pet, this aquarium sand can be used. If introducing sea water, this sand would be ideal for Fiddler crabs.

Is this just for Salt Water tanks or can this be used in Fresh Water as well?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 11, 2018
This product is recommended for use in saltwater tanks only.

I bought this for our fiddler crab tank. It is perfect for them. We have it deeper on one end sloped into the water. This sand has not gotten smelly or formed any dead pockets thus far. I love the small shells that are in the sand, it really helps making it look like a beach.

Great color and texture

I bought this sand to cover the bottom on a new tank that is housing a breeding pair of clowns and 14 BTAs. I love the color. I wish I had put this in my 70g DT
