Review: Fantastic Substrate for Planted Aquarium - I just got back into having fish and decided to go with all live plants, which I've never done before. 10 weeks in and I have four tanks going. I used this sand in my 30gallon and put it into a 6.5gal upgraded betta tank today. It is beautiful and I'm thrilled with my purchase! Pros: 1. Very fine for sensitive bottom dwellers like Cory Cats. Mine play and frolic constantly, leaving happy little trails all over the tank. They love it! My mystery snails and Malaysian trumpets love it too! 2. Plants love it! My plants are going crazy in this tank and taking longer to get going in the tanks with Eco Complete and Tahitian Moonlight (also beautiful, btw). I rearranged a few plants today and they had roots 6 inches long after about 8 weeks in the tank. The soft sand makes it easy to place plants without damaging them. 3. The light color is really pretty and makes it easy to spot various critters. It's kind of beachy in a way and a great contrast to my tank with the black Tahitian Moonlight sand in it. Cons: 1. Somewhat tricky to clean. Take my advice, which I got from someone else, and buy a mini gravel vacuum. It is perfect to stir up the sand to clean without sucking it all up and out of the tank. 2. Not really a con but some more advice: WASH IT FIRST!!! I did this by pouring the bag into a big 5 gallon bucket I got on the cheap from Walmart. Get a stool (it takes a while) and take the bucket to your outside hose. Use the strongest, most focused nozzle you have. Have a seat and shoot the water with force down into the sand. Use the water to churn it up. You'll be shocked at the fine particles that come out! Carefully pour the water out (don't worry... the sand will stay in the bucket) and then do it again. Rinse until the water runs clear. Trust me. You'll thank me later! You really can't go wrong buying this sand! Review: Great sand but RINSE WELL - This sand is beautiful and incredibly soft! Used to have a dark substrate but decided to change to this. Sand is sand but I've dealt with several and this one is truly softer than any other aquarium sand IME. Would highly recommend for corydoras (I have 15) or other bottom dwellers with sensitive barbels. RINSE VERY WELL! Like go overboard. I thought I rinsed and ended up with a tank so cloudy you couldn't see through it for a week. Was frustrating but nobody's fault but mine. Super soft sand = finer grains. Finer grains= more likely to become cloudy and have the fines suspended in water column for a while. Just be smarter than me about it and you'll be very happy with the product. If your tank is heavily planted and decorated, go with one lb/gallon. Otherwise, go for 2lb/gallon. I used only one bag on my 60 gallon (48x13 footprint). Would definitely recommend/buy again if needed. ## Features - Ideal for Freshwater Aquariums: CaribSea Sunset Gold sand enhances the aesthetic appeal of your tank while providing a natural substrate for aquatic life. - Perfect for Aquascaping: Allows you to create beautiful, realistic underwater landscapes with ease, adding beauty and depth to your freshwater aquarium. - Supports Healthy Plant Growth: Provides a stable surface for plant roots to anchor securely, promoting strong and healthy growth. - Perfect for Medium-Sized Tanks: The 20 lb package is perfect for medium-sized aquariums, offering ample material to cover the tank floor. - Easy to Maintain: Helps maintain a clean and vibrant environment, supporting the well-being of both fish and plants in your aquarium. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005QTETWK | | Best Sellers Rank | #19,734 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #15 in Aquarium Sand | | Brand | Carib Sea | | Brand Name | Carib Sea | | Color | Sunset Gold | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 955 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00008479008398 | | Included Components | Caribsea Super Naturals Aquarium Sand, 20-Pound, Sunset Gold | | Item Type Name | Caribsea Super Naturals Aquarium Sand, 20-Pound, Sunset Gold | | Item Weight | 20 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Caribsea | | Manufacturer Part Number | 00839 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 00839 | | Pet Type | Fish | | Specific Uses For Product | Active | | UPC | 008479008398 | | Unit Count | 320 Ounce | | Vivarium Type | Aquarium | | Warranty Description | As Labeled | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Carib Sea - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00008479008398 - **Item Weight:** 20 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** Caribsea - **UPC:** 008479008398 ## Images ![Carib Sea Super Naturals Aquarium Sand - 20 lb - Sunset Gold - Natural Substrate for Freshwater Aquariums, Enhances Aquascaping & Promotes Healthy Aquatic Habitat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-9YV-GY1L.jpg) ![Carib Sea Super Naturals Aquarium Sand - 20 lb - Sunset Gold - Natural Substrate for Freshwater Aquariums, Enhances Aquascaping & Promotes Healthy Aquatic Habitat - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HbLV99thL.jpg) ![Carib Sea Super Naturals Aquarium Sand - 20 lb - Sunset Gold - Natural Substrate for Freshwater Aquariums, Enhances Aquascaping & Promotes Healthy Aquatic Habitat - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91WfJmoKSEL.jpg) ![Carib Sea Super Naturals Aquarium Sand - 20 lb - Sunset Gold - Natural Substrate for Freshwater Aquariums, Enhances Aquascaping & Promotes Healthy Aquatic Habitat - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LrqYkfklL.jpg) ![Carib Sea Super Naturals Aquarium Sand - 20 lb - Sunset Gold - Natural Substrate for Freshwater Aquariums, Enhances Aquascaping & Promotes Healthy Aquatic Habitat - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Q-Ea9hbkL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Substrate for Planted Aquarium *by M***O on September 30, 2018* I just got back into having fish and decided to go with all live plants, which I've never done before. 10 weeks in and I have four tanks going.

They can't stop messing with it. They have dug out so many new caves since I added this. It cleans up nice with my siphon cleaner, doesn't get sucked up with the waste. Doesn't get blown around by the spray bar or wave maker, or sucked into the filter. Clouded my tank for a day even after rinsing each bag well with a bucket and hose, but after that the water is pristine. I used 4 bags in my 60 gallon tank originally just 3 but the cichlids love digging in it so much they kept hitting bottom and displacing too much, so I added another. The Sunset Gold looks great, a nice natural color. I'll never go back to gravel again! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/15863907-carib-sea-super-naturals-aquarium-sand-20-lb-sunset-gold](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/15863907-carib-sea-super-naturals-aquarium-sand-20-lb-sunset-gold) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
