My red ear slider was great, healthy happy. I bought this, rinsed more than 6 times and drained. Had him out of the tank for day to let the sand settle.... fast forward 3 weeks and My turtle died. He wasn't old, wasn't unhealthy.Do I know for sure if it was the sand? No.Is that the only change in his enclosure? Yes.

I actually don’t use this for a fish tank what I use as far as actually the mix in with my soil to make it drain better. It works really good it stays where it supposed to in the soil. I really really good product. I bought quite a few bags recommended

Super small bags. In my opinion, you would need about 4 of these for a ten gallon tank and the price is too high.

Few rinses and it's ready to go. It gives a lot of light to the aquarium. I mixed it up with Sunset Gold sand (same brand) so it was not so white. Even though the other one is much thinner they go very well together. For a 5 gallon tank I used 2 bags. This allowed me to do some ondulations (not plain prairie look). I also put underneath the sand 1cm of soil for real plants to grow.

This sand is perfect! Large enough pieces so it doesn't float around, but small enough to be soft for sensitive fish.

as an experienced salt and freshwater fiish keeper im very happy with this and the added water clear pouch is very nice. not covered in a tun of powder so you donty need to rins it for an hour. sost so it wont scratch scaless fish like loaches, great size pieces as thy are to big to get sucked into a filter easily and to not float onto of the water. but small enough to not look like rocks instead of sand. also very nice colour, looks amazing in real life... way better than the bag looks like on amazon. Finaly eventhough it is a small bag it is the perfect amount for a 5g tank. 6/5 stars :)

I really like the color of this product. Originally I thought it was a bit to white but after having it in the tank and letting nature take its course it has dimmed down a bit to a very nice natural light color. Some parts have turned a yellow orange like color but it’s very light and it honestly adds a nice natural look. I’ve had it in a two gallon tank for a little over a month and it’s been perfect. In a two gallon tank one bag works just fine.

I have three tanks and all of them contain Super Naturals substrate. Two have Tahitian Moon and my small 5 gallon betta tank contains Torpedo Beach. When I was new to the hobby I started with substrates from "big box" stores who sell dyed substrates that leach and cannot, in my opinion, be healthy for fish in the long term. I won't buy anything but Carib Sea at this point. Super Naturals is NOT artificially colored and it always looks gorgeous under LED lighting. Also, going with sand as opposed to coarser gravel is a better option because food and other debris stay on top of the sand, making for easy cleanup. The Natural Torpedo beach is a very, very light beige and the grains are a little coarser than what I expected. However, it add dimension to the tank and looks beautiful, and still offers the easy cleanup I was looking for.

Great sand. I recently bought this for my 5.5 gallon betta tank. The color is a subtle off-white and looks very natural in the tank. It looks phenomenal under a white LED light. The grains are much bigger than sand but smaller than gravel. Like any substrate, be sure to rinse before use so the tank water doesn't become murky. Every sand packet should come with a complimentary Carib Sea BioMagnet Clarifier dosage for 5 gallons to decrease water cloudiness.This is the second Carib Sea product I have ordered. No regrets here!

Product is good. Only thing as mentioned before is that the sand is not shiny like the image depicts.
