Megan North –
The sand looks very natural and blends well with my tank. My shrimp and small fish are active on the surface, and there’s no sign of stress. It’s easy to clean and doesn’t alter water chemistry as expected.
Yvonne Hardacre –
I used it in a brackish setup with snails and small fish. The color matches the background well and the fish seem comfortable. No pH changes after a week of use.
