Very nice color and texture. My corals look beautiful after substrate placement because of the contrast between the sand and coral bright colors. I am very impressed by the quality of the product. Highly recommend the product.

Excellent product! Definately does not cause the standard "sand-storm" like oolitic sand does.

Once you add up the shipping cost/etc its better to find real live sand somewhere else. This is relatively coarse, and not the best for a DSB. Shipping this is also a risk as it might leak, as it did for me. MarineDepot did a great job replacing it without any hassles.

The sand was clean and arrived quickly, but it was a little too dry, and I'm not sure that much of the bacteria has survived.

Shipped in very heavy plastic (very unlikely to rip), this substrate is fresh. Found lots of sea water (real sea water - tested) keeping the local habitants happy. Unbelievable clean too! Made my existing bed look dingy. Lots of good instructions and warning on the bag and the bag is clearly dated for freshness. I wish all merchants cared this much about their product and customers.
