Love it but be careful
Date: May 1, 2009
"This is a great product! You need to keep an eye on it though when starting a new aquarium. You still might get a slight ammonia reading as I did and others I have talked to. It should go down within a couple days but just keep an eye on it.
I added about 5 cups of it to an established tank and had a faint reading for about 24 hours.
The less liquid you use from the bag the less cloudy your tank will be."

Exellent
Date: December 22, 2008
"I tried the sand and it was awesome! I have it in my 45 gallon with 24 neons 11 black neons 5 chinesse algae eaters and 2 rainbow fish. It is a really good product and is an amazing sight to see.
If your new to sand its actually really easy to clean just take your gravel vack and hold it an inch or two above sand and your done.
Just a fact but algae eaters, plectoes, catfish, sharks, and a few others all can die over time by gravel but its proven that sand lets them live longer.
A really good product I loved I hope you do to.
Happy aquariuming"

Live Aragonite Reef Sand
Date: January 26, 2008
"The best product on the market in my opinion. I have used it for a couple of years now and it immediately solved my problems. It can be put in and as soon as it settles, the fish can be added. It maintains the ph level perfectly and really helps stabilize the biological level. It is an awesome product! Don't waste your time and money on anything else."

Great for nano reefs
Date: January 26, 2008
"This live sand is amazing! I have been keeping reef tanks for several years now and still have three. Typically, I would use dead sand and and add bacteria, however, this stuff comes with the microorganisms your tank needs already in it. There is still a cycling period as is expected with any salt-water tank, but the process is greatly sped up. It creates a great buffer very quickly. I would definitely suggest this to anyone setting up a nano reef or any aquarium for that matter."

So far so good!
Date: August 4, 2007
"I put this stuff in my tank just under a year ago, I still have my original fish and hermit crabs. I did run my tank for quite some time with some live rock before adding my fish. So its claim that you can immediately add fish should be taken with a grain of salt. Also there is some talk on this product that something sitting on shelf could not possibly still have living organisms and good bacteria. But either way, I still highly recommend it. Better to get a nice jump start."
