Great variety, Beautiful, great for Pistol Shrimp!
I was very interested in this product because I wanted a sand that would have a combination of soft, fine sand, and pieces or larger shells for my future Pistol shrimp and Yasha Hase Goby pair. The softer part of the sand is great for sand-dwelling creatures, while the shells provide building material for the shrimp. There were even more shells included than I thought, and most of them are a beautiful small-size, purple-pink color. There are also some larger whole shells, which accent the sand very nicely. I feel like I'm looking at a real beach! I have a 12-gallon tank, with the tank dimensions of 16.875" x 10.25" x 17.5" (LxWxH), and I was able to create about a 3-4 inch sand bed, a perfect size for my future residents! I also like the aspect that a deeper sand bed allows for more natural filtration. I also feel that this aragonite sand, and the bio-magnet liquid included with it, has helped the cycling of my tank quite nicely. All-in-all, I am very happy that I chose this over all others, love the variety to the eye it gives and the accent pieces present. I highly recommend for those who are looking for the same qualities!
