    Sand has a natural look and particle size very good so it's not lifting and blowing around. Not too big for Gobies and other sifters and sand dwellers.<br><br>Fast free shipping at a nice price.<br><br>Thanks AQUACAVE!!

    Special Grade is the Right Size for My System

    Posted by Earl on Sep 19th 2018

    I've tried just about all kinds of sand available on the market and this is the one that's perfect size, color, etc for my system. It's looks very natural and all my sand digging fish love it. I highly recommend this product, been using it for many years.

    This sand appears less likely to be blown around by wavemaker. AQUACAVE had it in stock with free shipping. Excellent value.

    Great looking sand and i like how it doesn't blow around in my tank. I think the granules are just the right size.

    I have used many different types of sand, from dry to live with different outcomes. While the best advice in this hobby is to take things slow, sometimes you just do not have the luxury or patience. That being said, I have used this product with much success. I recently set up a 3 gal desk top aquarium at work and then a 45 gal AIO at home. Due to circumstances, I needed to set up both tanks as quickly as possible and could not sit back and wait the normal cycle time. I ended up using 2 bags in my 45g along with live rock, natural sea water and applied a bottle of bacteria for good measure. I let the tank rest over night and then added fish, coral, hermits and snails the following day. It has been about a month since I set it up and did not have any losses. Would highly recommend and will use again when the time calls.

    Recommend this sand.

    Posted by Mark on Sep 13th 2014

    This sand is great, water cleared up in a few hours. This sand is big enough that It doesn't get blow around by my wave makers but still looks good.

    Recommend to buy.

    Sand came fresh and very damp. No complaints after a very quick cycle on a brand new tank. Would buy again.
