My First Sand.

I was in need of sand for raising and breeding triops, and this was the only sand I could find. That being said, I think I will never go back to gravel! It is easy to clean, since waste just sits on top, it gives my tanks a natural look, and so far, I have not had any issues with fish swallowing it. My only issue with it is that it takes a while to settle when I first start tanks, which isn't something I encountered with gravel, but that is something to expect with sand.

Cloudy mess at first, but....

First of all you do not want to add this to an existing tank. It will make it a cloudy mess for weeks.. it will stick to everything and make it a real pain. That being said the best way I found to use this is to add it to a new tank and let the filter run for a few hours.. at that point the white haze will fall to the bottom. You can vacuum up most of the white crud and add your decorations and plants. I waited 2 days and to add decorations and fish... I vacuumed it about 3-4 times in the 2 days and all was well. It is definitely worth the hassle, the fish love it and the tank/water has never been so healthy.
