DIRECTIONS

We recommend 1-1.5 pounds of substrate per gallon of your aquarium to achieve 2'' substrate. Place sand into a separate container (not your aquarium) to thoroughly rinse sand prior to placing into your aquarium. This will reduce cloudiness when placing into your aquarium, but not all dust or debris will be removed from the initial rinse. We recommend rinsing 2 or 3 times prior to placing sand in the aquarium. What remains will settle or be consumed by your filtration.

WARNINGS

Caution: Not Suitable For Children. Rinse Well With Water Before Placing In Aquarium.

Recently been wanting to add sand or gravel to my aquarium , I have betta with long fin exotic colors , Only way I'm able to preserve them is netting the poop or siphon the poop every day. So that his water is always clean. His fin have been 100% for years. This sand should be called betta sand. The bag advertises a betta and says its for BETTA. Petco needs to update picture and listing information

Yes, I recommend this product.

Thank you for your feedback. We strive to provide accurate product information and helpful guidance for aquatic care. If you’d like additional help with this product, our team is available at petco.com/contact-us.

This is the best sand I've found so far. When it gets wet, it doesn't float or clump. It's a heavier sand that sinks quickly to the bottom and feels like beach or play sand. I would highly recommend this sand for shrimp, bettas, corydoras. I rinsed it very well with warm water first until the water ran clear. It looks very natural in my tank.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Hi Audree. We're glad to know this sand has worked well in your tank and that it provides a natural look while supporting shrimp, bettas, and corydoras.

It was on the cheap side and looks very nice in my tanks

Yes, I recommend this product.

Just bought this sand and I like how fine it is. Im sure my Cory’s will like it and I only needed to rinse it twice to remove cloudiness!

Yes, I recommend this product.

A lot of floating clumps after rinsing. I put these bags of sand in my new aquarium and after most of it settled, there were a lot of clumps floating around the top. I needed to use a fine net to catch the clumps. It would be hard to return :(

No, I do not recommend this product.

Is this sand course or fine? I would like to use for amending cactus soil, but I need course sand so it doesn't shift into openings and compact.

1 month ago
It’s not course it’s fine. When planting your cactus just use a broken up pot on the bottom with sand in between then any water can dry out. I have a cactus over 50 years old here. It flowers 🌺 much more. Oh also I use poopy fish water on my cactus because it’s great fertilizer;)

does this have calcium in it? what sand has no calcium?

2 years ago
Hi Valued Guest, Good day! Because this is a natural silica sand, it is likely to have trace amounts of calcium, and that will be true for all the other natural sands. The black planted substrate (SKU 3865608) for an aquatic set-up as an alternate option if you are looking for something black that is not calcium based. However, this product is coarser than the tan sand. Thanks

Is this natural or artificial sand? If it's natural why it should be rinsed ?

HI Valued Guest, Good day! important to rinse sand before putting it in the aquarium to remove any dust or debris. This will reduce cloudiness when placing into your aquarium, but not all dust or debris will be removed from the initial rinse. We recommend rinsing 2 or 3 times prior to placing sand in the aquarium. What remains will settle or be consumed by your filtration. Thanks

is this good for betta fish?

2 years ago
Hi Sam Jonas, Good day! Yes, the sand is safe to use with betta fish. Any substrate used should be rinsed thoroughly before adding to the tank and water should be cycled to ensure safe levels before adding fish to a new tank. Thanks
