Review: Best aquarium sand for tropical or goldfish helps condition the water healthy for fish all round amazing product
Review: This sand is amazing, it looks good and is easy to clean, I got light sand so it's easier to see the fish poo to clean out, but there are little black and brown specks which drive me insane xD I buy Aqua Natural Sugar White sand for all my tanks now, the sand is heavier than other sand so if you suck some up in your gravel vac they don't get very high, when using a turkey baster it all falls out before reaching the surface leaving only poop and food left in the baster. I use it with my Kuhli's and Cories, the Kuhli's love digging through it and burying themselves in it.

Extremely convenient to use, just take it out of the bag and add it straight to the tank. The quality is excellent: very soft texture, ideal grain size, and a beautiful, natural-looking color. By far the best substrate I've used. It comes pre-moistened, so you can pour it right in, and any cloudiness clears up really quick. I combined the white sand with fine gravel for a realistic look in my 5-gallon tank. Works perfectly!
