Special Grade is the Right Size for My System
I've tried just about all kinds of sand available on the market and this is the one that's perfect size, color, etc for my system. It's looks very natural and all my sand digging fish love it. I highly recommend this product, been using it for many years.

Would buy again
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. I recently set up a 3 gal desk top aquarium at work and then a 45 gal AIO at home. Due to circumstances, I needed to set up both tanks as quickly as possible and could not sit back and wait the normal cycle time. I ended up using 2 bags in my 45g along with live rock, natural sea water and applied a bottle of bacteria for good measure. I let the tank rest over night and then added fish, coral, hermits and snails the following day. It has been about a month since I set it up and did not have any losses. Would highly recommend and will use again when the time calls.

Recommend this sand.
This sand is great, water cleared up in a few hours. This sand is big enough that It doesn't get blow around by my wave makers but still looks good.

Recommend to buy.
Sand came fresh and very damp. No complaints after a very quick cycle on a brand new tank. Would buy again.
