Kira: I agree, it's a small bag. I suggest buying at least two depending on the size of your tank. I am going to purchase two more. I would buy 1 bag for a < 10 gal tank, 2 bags for < 20 gal tank, and 3 bags for < 40 gal tank. I have a 36 gal tank and hold a small community of freshwater fish with neon tetras, some zebra danios, and 2 kuhli loaches who I am sure are loving the softer texture of this new sand substrate which I added right on top of my original gravel substrate so now I have a combo. I had a betta who had just passed away. We are sad about his passing. Anyhow.. yes understand it isn't "pure sand" it's like fine gravel but fine enough it has that softness of a sand feel if that makes sense. Also I added the bag straight into my aquarium and it didn't cloud my tank at all.... which I was pleased with. There were some loose substrate hanging up top but not a lot. I rated it a 4 in "easy to clean" because I haven't done a water change yet - but I don't suspect any issues. Aesthetically pleasing as well. Overall fine purchase.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: This was perfect. I’m not an aquarium expert whatsoever, I recently got a 5 gallon tank for my betta to have more room to swim. I purchased the sand because I liked the look of it. After reading some reviews and googling how tos with aquarium sand I was a little nervous because it made it seem like a difficult process and it wasn’t at all. I opened up the bag of sand, put it in a bucket to get debris out, there was none at all, the sand was clean and could have just been put in the tank from the get go. I put the sand in the tank first so that I didn’t experience any cloudiness like some of the reviews said, then I just put the water in through the filter part of the tank, to again not make the sand fly all over. I had no issues, the sand settled immediately and my betta fish is fine, idk why people said it would get in their gills or whatever and I’m really happy with the look. If you’re looking on how much to buy, one bag was the perfect amount for the 5 gallon tank.

Amazon Customer: After putting this sand in tanks twice, I finally found the answer to the cloudy, sand covered aquarium items...first rinse your water in a bucket with clean water. I put mine in a 5 gallon bucket on my porch and after putting the sand in I fill the bucket 1/2 way with water from my water hose. I swirl the water with my hand several times a day to get as much debris to the top is possible. I do this for 2 days then pour the water out and rinse one more time and pour water off again. With an empty aquarium I the dump the bucket of sand into my aquarium a handful or more at a time and smooth it out as level as possible. Then, using regular tin foil I lay a piece out & completely cover the sand. Slowly add your water back in a gallon jug or so at a time. Be careful to not let it disturb your protective layer of foil.When you have the desired amount of water in, slowly pull out the foil so that the sand is disturbed as little as possible. You can then,carefully, with the palm of your hand,smooth the sand to your desired shape. You should end up with clear water and a smooth sandy bottom. Hope this helps somebody. Lorri
