About this product

This 10 lb bag of aquarium sand from Aqua Natural's Prairie range gives you roughly a half inch layer in a 20 gallon tank at the stated rule of thumb of 1 lb per gallon. The grains measure 0.8 to 1.2 mm and the colour is tan, with brown tones and specks of apricot running through it. It is made of 100% natural sand.

How the sand goes into the tank

One pound per gallon of tank volume is the rule of thumb Aqua Natural gives, which makes a 10 lb bag the amount for a 10 gallon tank at that rate. For decor that needs to sit higher, or for a tank you want to keep low and flat, the guidance is 1.5 to 2 lbs per gallon instead. A 20 gallon tank at the lower rate would take 20 lb, or two bags.

What arrives in the bag

  • 1 x Prairie Sand 10lb, model PRAIRIE010
  • 100% natural sand, triple washed and kiln dried
  • Tan grains between 0.8 and 1.2 mm

What are the grains like and where does the sand go?

Grains fall between 0.8 and 1.2 mm, and the sand has a dense composition with few fines. That density is why the manufacturer says it does not blow around in the tank. Aqua Natural lists it for aquascaping, aquariums, vivariums and terrariums.

In the aquascape it can form featured pathways or act as the base for a natural design. The tan and brown shades with apricot specks are described as matching well with aquarium plants and going with any decor. The sand is licensed and sourced responsibly in the USA.

How much sand a tank needs

Measure the tank's volume in gallons first, then pick your layer: 1 lb per gallon, or 1.5 to 2 lbs per gallon for a deeper bed. Someone filling a 20 gallon tank with the standard half inch layer needs 20 lb, so this single 10 lb bag is half of that. At the higher rate a 10 gallon tank takes 15 to 20 lb.

What else does the sand suit?

Can this sand be used in a vivarium or terrarium?

Yes. Aqua Natural lists vivariums and terrariums among the specific uses alongside aquariums and aquascaping.

How fine are the grains?

The grains measure 0.8 to 1.2 mm, and the sand has a dense composition with low fines.

How much sand comes in the bag?

One bag holds 10 lb of Prairie Sand, which is the 10 gallon amount at the 1 lb per gallon rule of thumb.

What colour is the sand?

The colour is tan, with brown shades and specks of apricot through the grains.

Has the sand been washed before packing?

The sand is triple washed and kiln dried before it goes into the bag.
