Aqua Natural Galaxy Sand Bio-Substrate 5lb for Aquariums, Sand seeded with Start up bio-Active nitrifying Bacteria

i just set up this tank again after my first fish passed away. worried that this sand would cloud and murk up the water but PLEASED it did not at all. i would recommend pouring water in on a paper plate to avoid disturbing the sand. it’s beautiful !!

great colouring

I’ve really enjoyed this substrate. I mixed it with my old substrate (which was a mix of sand + small gravel substance) when I upgraded tanks and I like the look of this one a lot. It’s more of a fine sand texture and a really beautiful sparkly black. My plants and ADFs seem to love it. It’s already a bit wet in the bag (they recommend not rinsing it) so it was easy to place into my tank that already had water in it. I love that it has beneficial bacteria to help the tank cycle too. It did make my water a bit cloudy for about ~2 days but this cleared up on its own with time.

Es un muy buen producto para un ciclado perfecto, y mantener parámetros adecuados. No es sustrato para plantas, no es para filtraciones. Es bacteria en modo sustrato

Left the water a little cloudy but it cleared up overnight. On the bag It said not to rince the sand so I put it in the aquarium a very careful added the water leaving the watercloudy. I put in an extre sponge filter to help clear it up and after about 12 hours ( overnight )it was cristal clear. 1st pictute is 4 hours after adding water, secont picture is this morning. The sand is beautiful , it has a little sparkle to it. Looks amazing! I used 2 bags for my 10 gallon aquarium. One bag would not have been enough
