Fine White Sand for Aquariums 0.1-0.3 mm, 5 kg

Lovely sand! I used 3 bags for my 240l aquarium, which gave me a nice thick layer for my plants. It's a bright off-white colour, so beware, as it shows every speck of fish poop. It looks really nice, and it really brightened up my aquarium. My corys absolutely love it. It took a lot of rinsing before the water ran almost clear because it's very dusty, but It settled pretty quickly. I used baking paper so stop the water from kicking the sand up everywhere when refilling my aquarium, then used the hose to gently swish the sand bed around to give it a more natural look, so it wasn't too flat. The water was a little bit cloudy for about 12 hours, then back to it's usual crystal clear. I think this is great value for money, it's much cheaper than you'd pay in an aquatic shop, where you'd easily pay £7+ for a measly 2kg bag. I'd definitely buy it again. Especially when it's in stock for same day delivery.

Bought this to add to our indoor plants. We had issue last summer with gnats/fruit flies investing some of the plants. We've removed them all and added a thin layer to the remaining ones. Haven't had any problems since and I think they look better without the soil exposed. The stones give a nice clean finish.

The gravel itself is fine - quite a homogenous size and colour, kind of off-white/pale grey. A 1kg bag isn't very big though - I thought it would be more than enough to cover the top of a large plant pot, but I could have done with a bit more really. Also, £13 seems really expensive to me considering that you can get 10kg for the same price from a pet shop or DIY store - but then not everyone needs as much as that...

Looks lovely in my new fish tank,took around 18 hours for it to settle with my filter on.Reaasoning for it taking so long is because I have a large tank so it may differ between people but im happy. Its high quality and food and waste sits on the top so its easy to clean,its very soft and pretty. (My tank doesnt look the best as im still aquascaping)

Value for money

i was a bit concerned buying this as there were no reviews on here yet, but decided to give it a go, as it was such a good price compared to others id seen, i was worried about cloudiness ect, but this sand is great, i rinsed it thoroughly {packaging said to rinse until water runs clear, it was clear straight away, though i did continue rinsing just incase) i then soaked it in water conditioner before adding it to the tank, my tank was already full of water and this fell beautifully straight to the bottom of the tank, no clouding or anything it just settled beautifully, there were a few air pockets which made a few bits of sand form little balls which floated about, but you just pop them and they fall to the bottom too, it has a lovely deep black colour, although when i put the bright light on in the tank it makes it look brown, but i don't often use this light, so that's not a problem, it also went a lot further than i thought it would and i have plenty left for my large tank when i get it, i will be aquascaping the large tank so although its massive i will only use it at the front, as the back will be soil and plants. my corydoras seem absolutely love it, its nice and soft for them to big around in :):) i'm so happy i bought this and i highly recommend it :):) also was very quick delivery and great price

Under fish tank lights this is more grey than black . It's more like sand as well very fine I have been keeping fish for thirty years . It's not gravel. But still if your after subtrant that's very fine for a good price then it's ok . Will do to put plants in . But it's not black . Not under fish tank lights it looks grey . But. Good value wash through twice before use

Nice

Ottima comperata per mio nostro acquario molto soddisfatto

Le sable est fin, comme indiqué. Je l'ai rincé par précaution et l'eau est ressortie blanche, trois fois. Il y a donc probablement des poussières super fines incluses. Pour un usage statique en fond d'aquarium, c'est probablement OK. Pour d'autres utilisations, à vous de voir.

Ho preso questa sabbia nera fine Amtra per un allestimento d’acqua dolce e il risultato visivo è immediato: il contrasto con piante e arredi fa risaltare tutto e l’acquario sembra molto più “pulito” e profondo. La granulometria fine è perfetta anche per pesci da fondo e per chi vuole un layout naturale; una volta sistemata resta stabile e non dà quell’effetto “ghiaia grossolana”. Consiglio comunque un buon risciacquo iniziale e di versarla con calma per ridurre intorbidimenti. Nel complesso, ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo e scelta azzeccata se si vuole un fondale scuro elegante, semplice da gestire e adatto a diversi allestimenti.

Tippitoppi, sandig, fein und weiß.

Le sable est beau propre tout doux rend bien dans l'aquarium et mes poissons et crevettes ont l'air d'apprécier
