Good to know
Iwagumi floors look best fine and flat — level the sand with a card before planting the carpet.

Unique sparkly color
This is really pretty sand. If you are looking to add a unique look & a little sparkle to your aquarium under bright light then, this is a must have. I wasn't sure if I would like this when I decided to order some but I love how it made my aquariums aquascape turn out!
Elizabeth · August 2026Pretty pink color
I love this sand I've bought quite a few bags and used it to stock multiple tanks. It's a really pretty light pink color and would definitely buy again
Tabitha · September 2026Favorite sand yet
This has to be my favorite sand yet. Very fine but not easily disturbed. Didn't mess with my water at all. I bought 3 bags and I used this along with their Flamingo pebbles, tank looks great.
Chava · February 2026Reddish purple sand.
The sand is reddish purple. I would describe the size of sand grains to be Fine but not Super Fine.
AA · February 2026Best I’ve ever seen/used! Beautiful color.
This is a fantastic product. Works amazing in my nano tank and is absolutely beautiful. In 30+ years of aquarium keeping I have never had a product that had ZERO CLOUDINESS upon addition of water. This stuff is amazing. Worth the hefty price. Even does well with pipetting out waste- the fine sand is heavy enough that I can pull extra food or debris out right off of it without disturbing the surface.
