Can I use this in a tank with Sand?

Yes. I've been using mine in sand for a year now. No issues. It look a little bit of adjusting during setup but has performed excellent since day one.

I would think not. It doesn't like wet things. It won't pick up fine dirt completely so sand is probably the same. You could try it if you get a return guarantee.

I dont have any saltwater tank none the less you can use it with salt water with no problem whatsoever.

Sorry I have not used it for aquariums only grandkids sand box...you might check with a pet store that has fish and ask if it would be safe for your fish

I don't see why not. It's just sand, but carefully cleaned and strained for animal use.

Yes. I have a 75 gallon planted tank with sand substrate. It is set up for my turtle so it is only half full and I mounted the filter sideways. I do have to keep it on a low setting or it will dig holes from the current. I use the spray bar setting and it works beautifully.

It depends on the salinity, but yes. Saltwater and saltwater organisms are contained in this bag. It may be better to not introduce those organisms and salt water to a brackish tank, but would be diluted and most if not all organisms would likely die (making it non-live sand) with change in pH, temperature, salinity and alkalinity. It is likely you can find a non-live version of a similar looking sand for cheaper.

It is sort of like a dust buster mounted on a stick. I have not tried it with sand but to be safe you might want something with a more powerful motor.

Yes. Depending on how much sand you need to pick up and how much time you have. I use this to pick up sand in my Hot tub brought in by grand children works great!

I don't think I'd use it on sand. The wheels are smaller and the brackets that fold out to hold the cooler are flimsy and fall off easily. You could secure it with bungees better than the cords that are on it, but I still don't think it would roll well in sand. A basic cooler will fit fine though, if that's what you're wondering.

I think so but if you want to know for sure, go ask any planted tank people. There are bunch of forums and web sites talking about it since this sand is pretty well known. I have moss which does not need to be "planted".

If it is a sand filter you should be able to use it. It replaces sand on 1:1 ratio.

Yes it can, but maybe to much for a 5 gallon tank. I have a 46 gallon tank and I run mine halfway.

You can use sand, if the sand is fine. It should flow through the water wheel part.

It would mess with pH too much. If you are looking for sand go with African Cichlid White from caribsea.

I suppose you could, if you had the holes on the right angle...but I am not sure you have to-or would want to. It works well in soil and is also used in the sand...good luck

I don't see why not . As long as the pad is in constant contact with the tank.
