yenmma!
09-08-2025Pretty good! Easy to wash as well, with only a few rinses. I have a 10 gallon tank and the smaller portion pack was just enough to cover the top surface evenly, with extra left. I have another sand substrate as well at the bottom of the soil so if you don’t have another layer of substrate i recommend getting another bag or the bigger portion rather than the 4lb. The soil balls were a a tiny bit larger than the other substrate soil brands ive seen. But overall they do a fine job with my plants and fish. Pretty good for the price! Overall recommend this substrate for a beginner getting into fish keeping or anyone just looking to start a planted tank.

09-08-2025I have a couple small aquariums set up with this for plants and shrimp, with a fine sand over top. Plants and shrimp still get the benefit of this substrate. Plants do much better, and helps with water perimeters for the shrimp. I got more to set up another small tank. You can also use in larger tanks. Its a dark color, finer texture than small gravel, easy to use. This bag is a great value for the price!
