Carib Sea ACS00223 African Ivory Coast Sand for Aquarium, 20-Pound

Looks great. Had a salt and pepper look in my tank and the fish dig it.

No está bueno se me murieron mis pescaos

This appears to be a decent product. It was easy to clean and my aquarium is crystal clear after a few hours. If you are setting up a 40 gallon I would probably get five bags of this. if you’re setting up a 55 gallon I will get six or seven bags

Works and looks great in the tank

I have ordered 2 bags in the past that were great. The latest bag was mixed with another product they sell, eco-complete, which is not what I wanted.

Amazing sand cichilds love it

Love this substrate. I rinsed each bag thoroughly in a 5 gallon bucket until I got The water as clear as I could. I added the water clarifier and water to the aquarium and within a couple hours it was clear. I can’t wait to get some more rocks and add some fish once the tank cycles

Glad Im not the only one who has had this issue. I thought maybe that was just how it was but now that I have done more research I realize sometimes you get good sand and sometimes you get garbage like this. I am now in the process of slowly removing cup by cup of this black gravel and replacing with actual sand. I would guess a third of the product is this black gravel and its magnetic. FUN when it sticks to a wavemaker magnet on your acrylic tank.

Love that it isn’t too fine to where it gets sucked into the filter and it keeps the ph perfect for my cichlids but definitely do rise it

Looks fantastic in tank. Prepping tank for Tropheus Ikola cichlids. Instructions say do not rinse, but I’ve have my nightmares with PFS and play sand so i didn’t trust it. I rinsed whole bag in bucket (1 bag in each bucket) filling to top wth water, let settle for a minute and draining. It went from whole milk to non fat in about 45 minutes. I added to full tank (no fish) with FX6 and supplementary filter floss. Within 6 hours it was very clear, within 24 hours it was crystal clear.
