The sand settled well in my 55-gallon tank. My gobies are active and not stressed. The water pH has remained stable over the past month. Easy to maintain and clean.

I used it as a base layer in a shallow sand bed. It’s fine and smooth, and the fish don’t seem to have any issues with it. Nitrate levels have dropped slightly since adding it.

Great for a low-maintenance setup. The sand doesn’t clump and stays evenly distributed. My tank has been stable in pH and nitrate levels for over two months.
