Enjoying that minimalistic look🤩

Clear water though straight in tank no discolouration at all. fine sand would perches again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this sand good for a marine reef tank**
A: yes it is ok

**Q: Is this suitable for covering the top soil of indoor plants ...? (Also thinks this discourages fruit flies from laying eggs in soil..?).**
A: It's extremely fine, you may fine yourself constantly sweeping it up as the result of any breeze

**Q: Does the quartz sand look perfectly white? I'm going for a completely white look, not yellow/brown like beach sand.**
A: The sand is not perfectly white, it is a more pearly colour but still very pale. It is nothing like beach sand in any way.  It has a nice gleam in the bottom of the tank.  Our fish seem very happy with it and I wouldn't change back to gravel.

**Q: Is this ok to use in paint?**
A: I wouldn't think so I got the black version it for my fish tank if I paint it i think I would pollute the water it is very good product

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value sand, high quality, looks great.
*by V***R on 19 March 2016*

Described as gravel on package but it is refined sand which is what I wanted. It is a deep charcoal colour as the bottom of my tank is black so that gives a colour comparison but it still looks really smart. I have wood with Java moss and ferns and this gravel is a perfect setting for making the plants ' colour pop'. Enhances the colours of my fish too. I left it to soak in a large bucket for a couple of weeks after washing well. I had no problems with the water in my tank from this sand. 2 packets of sand amply filled my 125 litre tank. Also, the price I paid was very reasonable - very competitive and cheaper than other online sellers and the high street/pet outlets.
