I recently rekindled my interest in tropical fish, but wanted to keep Corydoras, knowing that sand would be better for them, I decided on some white silica sand, it took very little cleaning, was placed in the tank with some decorative features, filled with water and off I went. I did a fishless cycle, added my fish last week after a water test and now I have some pretty little Peppered Cory's scuttling arround the tank, all in a happy condition. I would love more tanks, but the space available restricts me. A great product that enhances my tank.

Excellent quality sand, literally does not need to be rinsed before putting into the aquarium. I've just downsized to a corner tank and it looks brill when the blue lights are on! Good value, plenty of sand being the 25kg bag. It took about 18kg for a good deep 3-4 inch bed on a juwel 190L corner tank to give you an idea of coverage. Two minor critiques.. the sand is very smelly, that may sound weird but you'll get what I mean. It gets your throat. The second is that it may actually be to good a quality sand if that's such a thing, the grains are very very small, to the extent that my two air stone logs are at the bottom of the tank with the 3inch bed above, when the air pump is blowing it creates a full on sand storm cloud, adjusting your flow rate will sort this out as I have done. Does look pretty cool in places like rocks and caves with sand flowing off it. Or obviously just put your air stones on top of the sand not under it. Be prepared with your gravel cleaner as you'll want it to be pristine all of the time. Never wrote a review before but this product is brilliant. For sure would recommend.Read full review

This is an insanely fine sand which arrived well bagged up and just about as clean as it can be. I expected to have to spend a month of Sundays scrubbing dust out of it, but in fact it is just about ready to go out of the bag, and running the tank water through carbon in the filter system removes all trace of dye inside an hour. It would be perfect for people who want to play about making sandfalls inside their aquariums since it is so fine and will pass easily through the impeller of any decent pump. And beyond aquariums I would imagine it would be useful in things like egg-timers since, when dry, it flows almost as easily as a liquid. Don't expect fancy packaging. Who needs that anyway? But do expect a material which is ideal for sand-diving species and cats with sensitive barbels. Wonderful stuff :o)Read full review

This white sand is absolutely amazing , since swapping from gravel to this sand my water is absolutely crystal clear and my cichlids love it . Better than any other sand I’ve tried before . Doesn’t even cloud the water when you first put it in . Bought more now for my bigger tank and delivery was also super fast within 24 hours
