Aqua Natural Sugar White Sand Bio-Substrate 5lb for Aquariums, Sand seeded with Start up bio-Active nitrifying Bacteria

If you decide to aid the cycling of your planted fish tank, this will help. I used this as a thin layer between the base soil and the decorative stone to finalise the look. I trick to make your planted fish tank maintain clear water. I would have preferred to order 2 bags rather than 1.

Best aquarium sand for tropical or goldfish helps condition the water healthy for fish all round amazing product

This sand is amazing, it looks good and is easy to clean, I got light sand so it's easier to see the fish poo to clean out, but there are little black and brown specks which drive me insane xD I buy Aqua Natural Sugar White sand for all my tanks now, the sand is heavier than other sand so if you suck some up in your gravel vac they don't get very high, when using a turkey baster it all falls out before reaching the surface leaving only poop and food left in the baster. I use it with my Kuhli's and Cories, the Kuhli's love digging through it and burying themselves in it.

Extremely convenient to use, just take it out of the bag and add it straight to the tank. The quality is excellent: very soft texture, ideal grain size, and a beautiful, natural-looking color. By far the best substrate I've used. It comes pre-moistened, so you can pour it right in, and any cloudiness clears up really quick. I combined the white sand with fine gravel for a realistic look in my 5-gallon tank. Works perfectly!

I love the colour of the sand it makes my tank looks bright and pretty. It's not super white but natural white and that's why I like it more. One more thing is, I noticed a lot of copepods living in my aquarium and I wasn't so sure where it came from (because I never had them in my tank before). I assume they came from this sand as it is natural and good bacterias are already living in it. I just let those little guys living together in my aquarium as they help to clean the tank and some people even buy them. I'm happy and satisfied:)

Whoever thought of this is a genius! Easy to get out of the bag and into the tank, high quality, super soft and perfect grain size, and the color is super nice and natural looking! But the fact that it has the beneficial bacteria defiantly makes it 100% worth the money! It's perfect for getting the nitrogen cycle started in a new tank and I would recommend it to anyone, beginner or experienced! I actually already ordered more. (Also, just spend the extra 2 bucks for 10pounds of it, 5pounds isn't a lot and considering you can get twice the amount for only 2 dollars extra you might as well do it!)
