It actually works!!!

It was very hesitant to buy this product not thinking that it would work. It easily went into the tank without a problem. I placed my plant abd decor, filled tank with water and added one of my starter fish to be safe three days later all of the levels were still perfect and in less than a week my tank is fully stocked and my fish are very happy. I have a 30 gallon seaclear show aquarium with a land bio wheel Pro 280 series filter

This came in and all you have to do is add it to your tank, no rinsing required. It comes with conditioner and clarity packs. Tank was crystal clear the following morning. Mixed it with Petco white sand.

Why the fuss?

I will admit I bought this product with not a lot of hope that it would be fun to do and easy. I would say it took me about three minutes to clean the sand. (No Joke). It had little to no coloration in the waste water and very little sand escaped from the bucket. This surprised me because of all the comments saying how black and oily the sand came out of the bag...anyway it heated up quick and as soon as I put my fish in the tank (after it was cleared up and the sand set) they were in heaven. I have never seen them dart and dance like that before. I really enjoy the way it looks and would/have told all my friends about it. =]

Instant Sand

This line of product is the sand as their Super Natural Brand sand.
I have use both including this brand.
Both are the same but this package just make it so easier to work with. The fact that you don't have to rinse the grave/sand is not a harssess anymore.
Put it into the tank and conditioner and run your filters and you are in business.
I would not say this is fine sand but more of a coarse gravel like sand with different shape and size to keep gas from building up in the substrate.
I always like black substrate so this was a really good buy for me to buy from petco.com cause you can't beat the price on it!! Plus free shipping!!
The only bad thing is that you will get black dust and some residue from the product. Net out the floating particule so it don;t ruin your filter
Wipe off the black dust off the side of your tank once water clear up.

I have attach some photo to show off my tank....it is a planted tank.
I have the sand in there for a month now and it's working fine with my corys and bottom fish.

More like sand

Nice substrate. But it is more like sand, I combined this with some larger gravel and it looks great. Also be aware that it comes in fluid not dry, I made quite a mess when I tried to pour it. Comes with dechlorinator and live bacteria. I already had an established tank and am using spring water so I can't verify that but it didn't kill my Beta so all is good. Pretty stuff, nice for planting plants

This product is wonderful. I did not rinse it first and it does not make my tank cloudy. The black sand is beautiful. The food does not sink into the sand unlike gravel. I totally recommend this product.
