Review on 🏝️ Premium 20-Pound Carib Sea ACS00223 African Ivory Coast Sand for Aquarium by Trina Piskie

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nothing better

I bought this for my Oscar Tiger's new 125 gallon tank. I was a bit worried because of the negative reviews that the tank wasn't cleaned after putting it in the tank. But after doing or reading a lot, I am convinced that this product is the best. Well this is a natural product so I really didn't expect it to be perfectly consistent in every pack. I ordered 5 bags of 10 pounds and each bag either has a lot of black gravel or less. In any case, it was beautiful. I've attached photos of what it looked like when I first filled it with water to wash it. I didn't have a sink big enough to wash it so I just used the big kitchen bowl I have so for each bag I had to pour out 1/3 bag at a time and the first few washes showed that water was very cloudy. But surprisingly after about 5 washes the water became almost almost transparent but not quite (attached are two photos of the product after 6-7 washes I took. Some bags contained darker sand than others but they are all nice. I watered everything about it a new aquarium and water filled up The water was a bit cloudy but I'm amazed to see that my aquarium has become crystal clear in the water Attached video The highlight here is I think the right wash I didn't want to cut short because I don't want to that one of my fish is dying, so I washed very well.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
