Christopher Duff: I spent weeks looking for a place that has their jungle river sand, and could not find it, so I settled on this gravel, and I am glad I did. It's not too small, nor too big. My plecos dug a hole in this stuff, under a log in my tank, and now I don't even see them, unless I shine a light down into their den, lol.
The gravel cleans pretty easily, and doesn't seem to be as annoying as sand would be, as it doesn't easily suck up into the vacuum.

Feather: I didn't realize 5lbs was so little. It's the perfect amount for a 2-5 gallon tank. But I have a 10 gallon. I got 2 bags and I dont think it's enough for my planted tank. I need at least 2 more bags. But the quality of the product is great! Very beautiful.

Tamara: I can see why everyone is raving about this substrate. Just get it you won't regret your purchase! it's in between sand and gravel so not very big and not very small no sharp edges it's just perfect OH and the natural color will make it work with anything in your tank! also clears so fast, didn't even have to use the clarifier it came with. Would buy again!

bob: Very nice and coarse natural sand. Around 10 pounds is enough for a 10 gal aquarium.

Jenn: Looks great! It’s not the soft white sand you find along the ocean. It’s more like the color of sand you’d find at a lake, but small pebble-sized grain.
Only needed 1/2 the bag for our 5 gallon tank. I didn’t need to use anything to clear the water. I just dumped it in a thin pillow case and rinsed until the water was clear (it initially looks rusty). After thoroughly rinsing, we put it in the tank and added water. The tank water continued to look clear, even after we turned the filter/pump on. Our fish is a happy little fella and his new place looks so clean and beachy.

Amazon Customer: Great product. Bought a few bags as a base for an aquarium and then I put a more coarse gravel over it. It was really clean coming out of the bag. I like that it is not a fine sand and is very easy to put common plants in.
There are no nutrients for the plants in this fine gravel so you have to use fertilizer. If you are putting in plants that get nutrients from soil then you may want to consider a different substrate. My cuttings all developed long healty roots within a matter of a few weeks of being planted.
Will definitely continue to use this product.

Diane Longoria: I do like the look of these tiny, tiny pebbles-like large grains of sand. I like that they do not change PH. I did have some difficulties with this however in my 2 gallon Betta tank. Mainly-BE AWARE, 5 gallon bag-the dose of Bio-Magnet clarifier is for 5 gallon tank! YOU CAN HARM YOUR FISH if you dump in the whole packet in a smaller tank! Here's my story.
I rinsed the material pretty well, or so I thought, added them to the tank, with my conditioned water, and no clarifier, and the water was pretty cloudy still. I went ahead and put my fish in. Three hour later it appeared just as cloudy, so I went back and read the back of the bag more carefully-beyond step one of rinsing the material. It mentioned the clarifier which was included and tells you on step #4 to add it to the aquarium water...and wait at least 20 minutes before adding livestock. I removed my fish again, dumped out all the water in the tank, prepared more water, RINSING again for 15 minutes or so. Then when water was at the same temperature after a couple hours, I poured new water back into the tank, then followed the instructions on the packet of Bio-magnet, AND the back of the package which states to add to the...
