GloFish Aquarium Sand sets the stage for a unique aquatic experience. This sand not only provides a base for all your GloFish ornaments and plants, but it also looks magical under your GloFish aquarium’s blue LED lights. Use 1.5-2 pounds of sand per gallon of water. Rinse sand before using. To clean your sand bed with a gravel vacuum, care must be taken to avoid removing the sand by limiting the flow rate through the siphon tube. For the best GloFish viewing experience, try using a blue wavelength light, like GloFish LED lighting, to give a uniquely fluorescent look, particularly in low or nighttime lighting. Traditional white aquarium lights work well for daytime use. Your friends and family will love watching your GloFish aquarium come alive under GloFish lighting. Born Brilliant. GloFish fluorescent fish are born with their brilliant colors. They get their natural, vibrant hues from their parents and are not injected, painted or dyed. Enhanced by a full range of aquarium kits, lighting, décor and accessories, GloFish products create a complete underwater fluorescent experience that appeals to all ages and levels of expertise. Transform any aquarium into a GloFish environment at the click of a switch.

The sand looks great inside of my vertical 20 gallon but WARNING!!! it took me well over 2 hours to wash 20lbs (4bags). This stuff was turning my hands black!I will say once washed it did not cloud my tank at all!This is my first time buying “aquarium sand” never again! There are other, cheaper and cleaner options online, and local!

I liked the sand, however it was open and spilled all over the place.

So hard to rinse and clean out! The worst ever! Had to add color rocks to actually stand out! And it’s still not rinsing out makes the water look dirty! Couldn’t even return it because it’s already soaked up n water like mud!

Forget about any bad reviews on this GloFish sand, it’s beautiful under your itinick lights in the aquarium! Sure it’s a pain to clean but it’s SAND not Gravel. The end result is all that matters

The sand looks great in my glow fish tank, especially under blue lighting. Reasonably priced as well.
