I do love it, I got tahitian moon sand...black and very pretty, sparkles too, with just a couple handfulls of my old gravel tossed in for effect, it's all neon purple, blue, pink and green, looks so good. My tank residents seem just as happy with it, and since most of my plants aren't actually planted in the bottom they are happy too, shrimp and loaches seem especially busy with it. and as an added bonus, after rinsing and rinsing and rinsing and working the sand with my hands they got nice and soft, even if still a little black around the finger nails.
