Great substrate
Brilliant substrate, Great value at £13 a bag I ordered 3*8kg bags for a 4*2*1 bow front (260litres) and it covers the base of the tank just nicely. Didn't even have to wash it the sand is very clean and simply poured it in with no clouding etc. It comes out like very, very small round pellets in-between coarse sand and ultra fine gravel which is better than I expected, it is also a more of a slate colour than pure black looking natural and really makes the fish and plants "pop". Have attached pictures of my tank thrown quickly together after a house move and even in this state it looks great

Amazing and very clean substrate
you could probably get away without washing it first however i did rinse it and it was very clean, the colour is a little lighter than expected but its still very aesthetically pleasing in my eyes.

Quality sand
I've used the petted black sand for years,it not really black it grey,and it natural it not dyed.it needs avit of a wash before use but it come quit clean, great for Malawi cichlids or other freshwater,state it can be used in reef,but I would avoid for a reef aquarium but proberly would use on a marine aquarium, fish only.

Sand, not gravel.
The grains are small and appear uniform. The sand is dark but not quite as dark as my gravel. I had read a review saying such, so I was prepared for a substrate that was not going to suck the light out of the room. Under my aquarium lights the substrate appears as a dark graphite.As the grains appear regular, I cannot see them causing any problems for the inhabitants. You may get darker sand but will you pay a similar price?The gravel was a lot more expensive.
