Stoney River Black Aquatic Sand comes in a convenient 5-pound bag, making it an ideal choice for both freshwater and marine tanks. This substrate is non-toxic and highly durable, ensuring a safe environment for your aquatic life. One of its key features is that it does not alter the pH level of the water, allowing for a stable habitat. For optimal results, it is recommended to use between one to 1.5 pounds of sand per gallon of tank capacity.

When preparing the sand for your aquarium, simply place it in a large bucket, fill it with water, and let the excess water overflow. Initially, some fine particles may float but will settle over time, especially when an outside box filter is used. If a few small particles continue to float after some time, they can easily be removed with a fish net. This makes Stoney River Black Aquatic Sand an excellent option for creating a natural and aesthetically pleasing substrate in your aquarium setup.
