sand was used as the substrate in a saltwater aquarium. Looks great, very clean and aquarium safe. Much less than sand or gravel from a pet store. If you are looking for sand for you fresh and/or saltwater tank this is a great buy!!
Yes, I recommend this product.

You cannot go wrong with the price compared to sand in bags from pet specialty stores. You pay just over $3 for 50 lbs. where as at a pet specialty store, you pay close to $60 for 50 lbs.
In the aquarium with any light fixture, this sand almost glows as it is very white and looks excellent in amazon natural tanks as well as imitation reef tanks. You can pull off any them in the aquarium with this stuff for SUPER cheap compared to something that says it's specifically for fish tanks - says in the description that it can be used in fish bowls safely, which is HUGE for a fish keeper. I highly recommend this if you are okay and used to cleaning sand in an aquarium.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This product is great if you have a bearded dragon or other reptile! It is extremely cheap compared to pet store sand. I also recommend this product if you have a fish tank because it is cheap and brings out the color in your tank!
Yes, I recommend this product.

this item has the lowest price I can find on the playsand market so far, the sand is clean and neat. Other store or website sell the same quantity sand above $10, I don't think it is worthy.
Pros: Great Value, low price
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this play sand to use under my hamster's Carefresh bedding so I could go longer without cleaning his cage. Turns out, my hamster absolutely loves burrowing holes and sleeping in this sand. Watching him do this is so much fun. I would definitely recommend this product to any hamster lover!
Pros: Stylish, Great Value, High Quality, Comfortable
Yes, I recommend this product.
