Review: *** HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** PERFECT WHITE SANDWITH FAST DELIVERY - 2nd time buying as I was so happy with the first one I got for my daughters tank, so bought again for my newest tank, only needed a quick rinse as water ran clear quickly, soaked in water conditioner before adding to tank: looks like beach yellowy sand when rinsing and out of tank but once In the tank it's a beautiful white, no clouding at all, settled just lovely and stays put... ((apart from when corys have a good dig around and rearrange to their liking lol)) . Corys and guppies seem to love it, shows up sunken food like frozen bloodworn very easily, fish sweep through along the top of it eating them up, but for any that are left uneaten then it's very easy to see and clean up/remove... the price is AMAZING!! I was very dubious as it was so cheap, but because it's so cheap I thought I had nothing to loss trying it out, ... but it looks amazing...just as i wanted. ***HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** Also delivery was stupid-fast!!! Ordered on Wednesday, advised delivery would be Saturday but arrive early Friday. ..which was great :):) would defiantly buy again :):) Review: That’s the one - Really nice. Does not fade even in boiling hot water which is rare. Other gravels lose colour very quickly. Very clean, doesn’t produce any dust, plug and play. Water remains clear. Very dark grey/black look, looks very natural. Don’t mix it with other gravels. Not sharp at all so should be safe for fish. ## Features - GRAIN SIZE: Ultrafine 0.1 - 0.7 mm - Natural white sand - USE: For fresh and sea water. Arrange an indicative layer of 4cm on the front and 7cm on the back, creating a gradient that gives depth to the vision of the pool ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00H3J2LUI | | Allergen Information | Abalone | | Batteries Included | No | | Batteries required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 9,467 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 13 in Aquarium Sand | | Colour | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (9,787) | | Date First Available | 19 Nov. 2015 | | EU Energy Efficiency Label | A+, B | | Item Weight | 5 kg | | Item model number | A4022976 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Pet Life Stage | Baby | | Pet Type | Fish | | Product Dimensions | 25 x 4.5 x 34 cm; 5 kg | | Quantity | 1 | | Size | 5 KG | | Specific Uses | Active | ## Images ![SANDS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ahxssb9VL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I put this in tank ,washed,with fish already in?** A: It is possible but it is really fine , I have a four foot aquarium and I do sometimes top up existing sand after a water change **Q: How big is the gravel? 1mm?** A: They are very small pieces. One bag is only good for a small area. **Q: How fine is this sand?** A: 1 mm - very natural in colour with different hues unlike some white gravel/sand which looks bleached white and uniformed **Q: Can you use this sand for garden under membrane** A: Not sure but it’s not really sand it’s more like grit. You could probably get builders sand for cheaper ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ *** HIGHLY RECOMMEND*** PERFECT WHITE SANDWITH FAST DELIVERY *by C***3 on 17 October 2020* 2nd time buying as I was so happy with the first one I got for my daughters tank, so bought again for my newest tank, only needed a quick rinse as water ran clear quickly, soaked in water conditioner before adding to tank: looks like beach yellowy sand when rinsing and out of tank but once In the tank it's a beautiful white, no clouding at all, settled just lovely and stays put...
