"Somewhat tricky to clean."

My mystery snails and Malaysian trumpets love it too! If you have bright lights, algae will grow on this sand. I think it's probably OK to use without any washing, as it says on the bag. If it clears up I'll try to remember to do an update review. I unloaded it into a bucket and continued to rinse several times. Some people might have time to, but I do not. Just be smarter than me about it and you'll be very happy with the product.

WAYBER 208 Final Thoughts

"Oh, and one other thing."

The light color is really pretty and makes it easy to spot various critters. The point is, discus and rams do not appreciate getting buffeted. My aquarium was so beautiful with this sand! It has cleared up but still a little cloudy. The water was clear by the next day. If you are starting a new tank, this is the one that I would recommend. Plants are easy to plant in it as well.

WAYBER W-ST-WHITE-2LB First Impressions

"And it is perfect!"

My beautiful sand turned a very dark brown. The bag is small, but the quality of sand is good. Some people might have time to, but I do not. Not too white, more a beige-grey color. 10 weeks in and I have four tanks going. It is slightly finer and it hides algae very well. I will need 3 more bags if I want a thicker 1 inch layer to fill my entire tank.

WAYBER W-ST-WHITE-2LB Final Thoughts

"Very good product."

If it clears up I'll try to remember to do an update review. The sand arrived dry, I'm still unclear if that's how it was supposed to arrive. Was frustrating but nobody's fault but mine. Used to have a dark substrate but decided to change to this. But like everything else, you have to make choices and compromises. One bag was enough to cover my standard 10 gallon tank. The point is, discus and rams do not appreciate getting buffeted.

"And it is perfect!"

Not as thin as sand but works well for our musk turtle substrate. 2 weeks later and my tank is still a little cloudy. If I remember correctly, it's normal for new sand to do this. You really can't go wrong buying this sand! I will need 3 more bags if I want a thicker 1 inch layer to fill my entire tank. The item is as pictured and described. My mystery snails and Malaysian trumpets love it too!

"Won't go back to gravel!"

If you get this sand rinse it, I cannot stress that enough, rinse it. It has cleared up but still a little cloudy. The bag is small, but the quality of sand is good. That is why I chose the Hydor Koralia Nano 240. And it is not recommended that you rinse it out. If I remember correctly, it's normal for new sand to do this. I think it's probably OK to use without any washing, as it says on the bag.

"Very good product."

I received this aquarium sand yesterday. Used to have a dark substrate but decided to change to this. I used it in my fire bellied toad enclosure, it is cloudy but that's expected. It helped the water clear up faster. Cleaning it was easy and I just followed the directions on the bag. Not as thin as sand but works well for our musk turtle substrate. Just don't dump the water in the drain as its bad if sand is stuck in the drains!

"They love it!"

I didn't have fish yet and decided just to chance it. Do that over and over till the water finally is clear in the bucket. This is a nice color of sand and looks good under the light. All three are inert; therefore, they do not affect ph. If you get this sand rinse it, I cannot stress that enough, rinse it. The sand arrived dry, I'm still unclear if that's how it was supposed to arrive. One bag was enough to cover my standard 10 gallon tank.

Just be smarter than me about it and you'll be very happy with the product. Almost like a sparkle, but not bright.

Except for and axolotl owner this Sand is veryyy hard to keep clean! This sand is almost exactly like the beach in Destin, FL. The Estes sand came highly recommended.

"Super easy."

I used about 9 lbs in my 5 gallon tank, since I wanted a deep substrate layer. I bought 80 lbs of this sand for my 75 gallon fish tank. It looks really pretty and natural. I didn't have fish yet and decided just to chance it. It's what I did with the sand I had left over that I'm using in my smaller tank. I decided that I'll keep the sand after all. Just be smarter than me about it and you'll be very happy with the product.

"Hope this helps!"

Some will leave the tank when you get rid of unwanted plants too. Bought this 50lbs bag for my 55g freshwater aquarium, boy is the white sand nice! Not too white, more a beige-grey color. There is a black sand from the same manufacturer called Tahitian Moon. The soft sand makes it easy to place plants without damaging them. A simple pass with a siphon hose removes most all of the waste. I still love it and maybe will return to it someday after my aquarium is settled in.

All three are inert; therefore, they do not affect ph. Doing that it should be clean enough to put in your tank and not cloud up your water.

"Make sure you rinse it."

Good thing I'm not in a rush so it will have time to settle. I will need 3 more bags if I want a thicker 1 inch layer to fill my entire tank. I was nervous about converting my freshwater tank substrate from gravel to sand. I went ahead and used it without rinsing it, which was a mistake. The item is as pictured and described. I rinsed each bag separately and skimmed the small amount that floated to the top. I never did get around to switching to gravel.
