First, it took FOREVER to wash clean. Like a whole DAY! I washed it in about 2 LB batches and the water from each batch ran BLACK for MANY rinses. Second, I shouldn't have bothered because it has so much white in it it looked terrible in my tank and I removed it. I gave it 2 stars because my fish loved it. They loved it so much they had created bare spots on the tank bottom from all the excavating.

Not solid black. It's black and grey with some white specks. First try just dumped in aquarium. Filled up. Cloudy as hell. So emptied aquarium. Rinsed rocks for 30 minutes. Redid aquarium. Still cloudy as hell. Some particles still floating to the top. Almost like tiny pieces of bark or something. Wasted the cash. Because this sucks.Owner of 6 aquariums. I know my stuff. Never again will I buy this

This substrate looks great. I haven't checked the PH yet, but appearance wise this stuff is great. I have a 55 gal. tank and added 4 bags. I probably could've used 3, but I wanted to build up the back of the tank.

I wouldn't really describe this as sand--more like tiny gravel. It looks nice in the tank and the fish seem happy with it, so I am as well.

I love this substrate and so do my fish. It is a slighter larger size then the sand that I have in my other African cichlid tanks which makes it easier to use a gravel vac to clean it. Yet it's still small enough that even the juveniles can dig in it and move it around to suit their purposes. Great product !!!
