A little darker than I expected but beautiful!
This sand is the perfect size to look like a tropical reef but not blow around. It hardly even turned my water cloudy. I was surprised at the color though... not as white or pink as I had expected but I still really like it. It ended up being too much sand for my Nuvo 20 because I only wanted a 1" deep sand bed.

Great sand
Sand looks good in the tank. Heavy enough that it doesn’t blow around in my powerhead, small enough it still has that “sand” look to it and not crushed mini rocks.

Great sand for reef tank
The sand clouded up the tank for a few hours when filling up the tank , but it cleared up nicely. I like how it doesn't blow around like the finer grain sand , it does not look pink under my AI Prime it looks white. I would recommend this sand and i will be using it on my next setup.

Just the right size
This sand in my opinion is just the right size. Not too large for sand burrowing creatures and not too small that it blows all over your tank. Like other have said it does cloud up the tank for a few hours but after that has settled it is a very nice clean looking, very white sand. <br>Very happy with my purchase and Aquacave shipped it very quickly.

Very nice subtrate
I have used many different types of sand, from dry to live with different outcomes. While the best advice in this hobby is to take things slow, sometimes you just do not have the luxury or patience. That being said, I have used this product with much success. The sand is white under leds which is the look I was after and does not blow around easily. Would highly recommend and will use again when the time calls.

Great sand
Very white under the LEDs we have, which is what we were looking for. Does make the tank cloudy when you first add it, but it settled out in about 6-8 hours.

Clean Sand
Nice and clean sand, when I add it to my tank it clouded the water , but cleared up fast. Now I wish all my substrate was this sand.
