## Description

desertcart.com : Nature's Ocean No.1 Aragonite Sand for Aquarium, 20-Pound : Pet Habitat Sand : Pet Supplies

Review: Best rock and sand...barnone !!! - Best sand I've used since I began salt in the mid 80's. The bag I received last was 7 lbs shy. Otherwise it's top of the line product. I built a wall of liverock on top of a bed of this sand, topped off with RODI IO. A family member dumped nearly a full 30 grams of marine flakes then the current instantly sacked it under the surface, I tried every way of removing all I could. In no time the tank turned cloudy and here I just finished setting it up and this happened, after I did all I could I finally retired for the day. After my six hrs sleep I got up and went into the front room, naturally first thing I looked at the reef tank (I promise this is real and true) and I can't believe my eyes, I got up and went to the tank and the whole thing was crystal clear, all I had was the one foam filter block, the liverock and livesand, all purchased at desertcart.com ! Right away it told me the liverock and lives sand had to consume all of that massive dump of flake food. This happened within the past 4 - 5 months. I cannot believe it myself ! But it truly is true...I just cannot believe it's possible that it biologically consumed all that fish flake food within 5 to 6 hours as I slept. Good liverock and Good livesand! Excellent products desertcart !!!
Review: Cute sand! But takes forever to clean - Note: Will probably update once I add plants Pretty sand! The little pink specs are cute and remind me of strawberry ice cream. I have a 10 gallon tank (20.1 inch L x 10.1 inch W, 12.8 inch H) and I got roughly 1.5 inch of sand to cover the bottom. (Sand is still wet in pictures). But dear god, it was an absolute pain to clean. It took maybe 20-30 minutes to get somewhat clear water and I’m sorry for the water bill. UPDATE (March 1st, 2020): Sand doesn’t look very pink from afar, but you can see if you look closely. My plants are doing well in the sand, though they sometimes will float up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great stuff, so long as you're aware of some issues.
*by R***D on January 6, 2015*

Samoa pink is a beautiful light golden sand with pink shell flecks mixed in. It brings to mind tropical beaches along Caribbean coastlines, with a clean fresh look that will add a lot of "pop" to your saltwater aquascape. The Grade "0" sand is very fine, with a grain size of .5mm to 1.5mm. This is small enough for most sand sifters to glide in the sandbed effortlessly, but it's also easily blown around by high-energy powerheads. I recommend combining a bag of this with a bag of the grade "1" sand. Mix it evenly and you'll have an excellent substrate that will be much more likely to stay put. Two complaints regarding the Amazon order that folks should know about: First, the image provided is not what you'll get. Samoa pink is a much finer grain sand than whatever they chose to photograph....and the color is different also. Check online resources so you'll know what you're buying. Second, the listing is somewhat misleading. There is text in the description that makes you think you might be getting TWO 20-lb bags. Be aware that this listing is just for one 20-lb bag, just like the title says. You're not getting some crazy deal of 40 lbs for 20 bucks. But still.....a dollar per pound is a very reasonable price, and as usual Amazon shipping was super fast.
