jamie2548 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 It's a cream color. You will find it brighten up under lights All I can suggest is to wash wash wash it has alot of fine particles to get out. Water may be a little cloudy for about a week. It took mine atleast 2 weeks to clear completely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcloughlin2 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Yes coral sand is said to be white, but it has many particles of cream and red coloured stones which give it the all round appearance of cream. If you use nice bright lights, I suggest using a blue and a white it will make the coral sand appear alot whiter. Alternatively if you want white go and buy some argonite. It is possibly the most sterile and pure white gravel you can buy without spending to much money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
