Carib Sea ACS00223 African Ivory Coast Sand for Aquarium, 20-Pound

Dislike it was beige and black and not white and black

great natural look in my 47 gal tank.Cichlids seem to love the gravel as they spend a lot of time moving it arround

Love this new San looks great in my 55 gallon

This is pretty once the tank is going. We had to rinse the sand/rock about 6 times.

I love the look of it but ...... you will need to take your time in cleaning it before you add it to your tank. I got ( 2 ) bags and the first one first I didnt get all the mud rinsed out. I ended up putting about 24 gal of water in my tank and draining it 2 different times. Even with the clarifier it was still real cloudy after a couple of days. This 2nd bag I took my time rinsing about half of it in a separate container and that seemed to worked a lot better. Now for the other 10 lbs ...... You can not get it rinsed completely in the bag like the directions say. Hope this helps someone. It is a real good product for your Lake Tanganyika aquarium.

Sand cleaned up pretty easily and the water clarified in the tank within 6 hours.

My cichlids absolutely love this sand. I love seeing them interact with it and dig their little holes. There was very little waste when rinsed, and it was shipped quickly. Awesome!

Awesome product! Awesome seller. I will be changing my other cichlid tank over to this sand!

Package came damaged with contents leaking out. Looks nothing like the picture in the description, its fine sand, not gravel as shown

Beautiful gravel! Yes you do have to wash it.It took me around 30 minutes of brisk scrubbing to have the water run clear or rather as close to clear as possible.My filter handled the rest and took overnight to settle,but now the water is crystal clear.Perfect for cichlids! I cant stress enough how happy I am with the look,and feel of this gravel.On a note the negative reviews,about having to wash the gravel imo are given by people that thought a little rinsing would cut it.With a gravel/sand this fine It takes a serious washing to remove the dust, but anything great is work a little extra effort, and this is a fantastic gravel.
