I didn’t wash it as it is written on the instructions and I put my betta in the tank, one week later, my betta was laying down on the gravel, I thought he was happy but later his fins shredded due to the bacteria of this gravel.I am so sorry for my betta, I chose wrong!!

Love that the sand was easy to add to my tank and did not cloud my tank. Great material.

Wanted something to change up my Betta tank and show off his gorgeous colors. This black color is very bold and a true black. Made the tank look so much better.

I just gave my three bettas new homes and decided to include this sand in each one. They each have spaces exclusively of sand. Now, all three prefer to nap on thier sand zones. I wish I'd thought of this earlier. Thanks to this bio-ready sand, all three tanks were ready and waiting within a day. I thank you for an excellent product and quick service.

It pretty and keeps the tank clean for way longer!! Great product just wish bag was bigger but it’s a good mount for a 3-5 gallon tank.

It's pretty coarse for sand. It looks good in the aquarium. The bags are pretty small.

Love how dark it looks and when the light hits it is some shimmer. I poured out the excess water in the bag and added the sand. No rinsing needed. I have the 2.5 gal Fluval tank and I would recommend 3 bags minimum. 4 would be ideal.

Too expensive for a tiny bag. I needed at least 5 for my 3 gallon tank. Also the sand is too fine I can’t use a siphon to clean the tank since it sucks the sand up. It also initially turned the water a weird color. I just gave up and threw the sand out will start again with better quality subtrate.

it's fine I guess, my shrimps liked it for a while but there were some impurities which shouldn't matter in the long run.

Nice looking sand, however for our 3 gallon tank, 2 bags were definitely not enough, I'd suggest at least 3 or 4 for a tank that size. Not sure how good the sand is for starting a fish in a new tank. We had a betta somewhat unexpectedly dropped on us, he had a 1 gallon bowl , our house was not warm enough to keep the water temp high enough for him so we had to kind of move him over quickly to a larger tank with a heater as he was becoming lethargic in our cold house after about 3 days , unsure if it actually "instantly cycles" but betta seems happy so far in his new home. Update: The sand has a nice sparkle to it, and is much nicer looking than the plain black petco aquarium sand we purchased supplement the Activ sand, help keep our plants well supported.
