Smaller than I though
I don’t know how much sand weighs so it was hard to tell how much i ordered. The bag was smaller than expected. Looks good in the fish tank and the fish haven’t had any problems or complaints.

Great substrate for my goldfish tanks!
I needed more sand for a new aquarium that I’d set up since I have female fancy goldfish who are being ‘harassed’ by the males. I don’t like using gravel and have been using Estes Marine sand for over a decade – and love it. Although this ‘sand’ needs to be soaked (48 hrs should do) before placing in your aquarium, once it sits, it’s beautiful and easy to keep clean. This sand does not hold pockets of noxious gases like playground sand or filter sand can. This is the best substrate for goldfish!

Good sand
The finer grains of sand kept getting into the water column but once everything settled made its way to the bottom and under the lager grains. Overall very good! Donât mess with it too much, let the sand settle!

Super great sand for my tank.
It’s nice larger grain sand. Its not blindingly white but it isn’t yellow. I rinsed it inside of my aquarium since I got both the same day and its 2 and a half-ish gallons. So it wasn’t a big deal to sit it in the bath tub for a good rinse. It settled right to the bottom with no issues. It barely even created any clouds before I was done with the first rinse. It looks really great and I would buy it again if I ever got another tank.

Granulated plastic?
I have no clue why polymer coating the silica helps in any way aside from making the sand float and rendering planting impossible unless it’s mixed with gravel. I wish I was at the company meeting when that idea was pitched. “We have some perfectly inert natural grains of silica… so we were thinking it would be kind if cool to coat it with plastic, make it float and it will also look artificial like a ground up white plastic part. Yes, it will add to the cost and time of production but what the heck we can sell it for more too!”Standing ovation in the meeting room!My filter still works but I’m not sure for how long.

Not the best sand out there
I won’t buy this again. The sand floats and if you only use a inch thickness it will just float away to the top

Iâm very happy with the Estes Aqua Sand. The white color is bright, clean, and looks beautiful in my aquarium. The sand is fine but not too dusty, and after a quick rinse, it settled nicely without clouding the water. My fish seem to love it, and it really makes the tank look fresh and vibrant. A great product and good value for the 5 lb bag. I would definitely buy it again!

Perfect! Easy to use In your aquarium, less mess and perfect for a nice clean look.
I got this as a gag gift but when i opened it it was actually a lot and the leather felt nice, there are a lot of peices and had a little baggy to hold everything definitely recommend for the kinky couples out there –
Looks great but hard if you donât have a second tank for your fish it has to filter for 48 hours with fish out and u have ti collect the top sand particles and thatâs such a pain but my frogs love it and the fish probably do to, definitely youâll need atleast 2 bags depending on your tank size but super affordable
