Nature’s Ocean Marine White Sand - 20 lbs - Natural Aquarium Substrate, Supports Water Balance & pH, Ideal for Freshwater, Marine & Reef Tanks

Don't ask me how it happens, but when you put this sand in the tank it magically turns white. While it is in the bag and while you're washing it, you'd bet everything that it is going to be tan when you put it in. Somehow the aquarium light really whitens it up.The sand in the bucket is after I had washed it, and it went straight from there into the tank behind it. I swear it is the same sand!

Very white and fine sand. I typically wash the sand first but was cold outside and my garden hose was frozen. Took a 3foot 2-1/2" PVC pipe and added to reef tank a cup at a time while spreading around tank. Expected sand dust and cloudiness but this was a minimum. Will definitely purchase more!!!

Just a heads up, this is absolutely sugar sand. If you plan on having any flow in your aquarium at all then this is not the product for you. Blows everywhere with even a little bit of flow and is now all over the inside of my pumps and sump/refugium set up. I ended up covering it all up with a thick layer of gravel and I still find it all over in my system outside of the display. For what it is, the product is good quality. I just didn't realize how fine it was going to be. I take responsibility for that so i still gave 4 stars

I first purchased this sand in 2014 for use in a meditation garden. As you can see in the photo, it was super fine, bright white, and exactly as expected for No. 0 Marine Sand. Four (4) years later, I reordered the same sand for a smaller garden and immediately noticed a difference in quality. Per my photo, the 2018 sand purchase is in the white dish in the photo and one can clearly see that it is not as fine or bright white as the previous package. This new package has lots of black sand/debris and is much more tan in color. Maybe it comes from a different source. Many reviewers state this sand is a great purchase, and I believe if I didn't have a previous package in which to compare, I would also give it a higher rating. So, 5 stars for my first package, 3 stars for this one.

Fantastic product.Had very little dust and screened very well.Looks great in the tank.Priced right too.This sand is even nice enough to use in glass containers for crafts etc,if you do that sort of thing

Overall the quality of the sand is good. Out of the bag, the sand is clean for the most part. There was a good amount of debris but cleared up pretty quickly with my sump system. The biggest disappointment was the coloring of the sand. When the sand was dry it looked off-white, but once it was submerged in water the sand turned much more tan. The lighting on my tank made it look better, but the coloring is clearly tan. The sand leaves the tank fogged up for days. This is due to the sand being so fine. When I ordered "Nature's Ocean No.0 Bio-Activ Live Aragonite Live Sand for Aquarium, 10-Pound, Natural White", the sand was much more white and beautiful in color. My plan was to order half live sand and half dry sand by Nature's Ocean hoping they would both appear white, however there was a clear difference in color. If this product was advertised as it truly appears, then I would have been much more satisfied.

Excellent soft pure white sand. No debris in it and tank ready. My yellow wrasse and ghost goby have a much easier time burrowing and sifting the sand.

I looked in the comments to see what people thought about the thickness of the sand and the sand is very big compared to the other No. 0 Nature’s Ocean offered. The No. 0 is more aesthetically pleasing in my opinion and I wish I got more of it but I didn’t and now it would cost me more than half the cost of the bag to ship it back for the return.

ottimo prodotto i valori dell'acqua rimangono sempre stabili.

Great for a zen garden.

A+ bon produit

Not very white, more like on the whitest aragonite could naturally be. Also, A LOT of rinsing is required. Overall happy with it. Would recommend

Takes a lot of rinsing and is full of other debris. After a thorough cleaning still clouds water for quite awhile, but looks nice when it finally settles
