[JBL] Sansibar Aquarium Sand 5kg (Dark / River / White)

NATURAL SUBSTRATE FOR ANY AQUARIUM

Ideal substrate:

• The substrate is an important part of the aquarium components because a lot of animals dig in the ground to search for food.
• The plants also need a safe hold and have to absorb the food in the ground through their roots.
• Digging fish absolutely need a substrate which is not sharp-edged.
• Undergravel heating can only be recommended for medium-fine to coarse substrates because water circulation cannot really build up in very fine substrates.

Use:

• Rinse the substrate with tap water to remove any abrasion caused in transit.
• Put substrate on the nutrient substrate (JBL AquaBasis) to promote the plant growth (for vigorous growth about 6-8 cm).
• Calculation formula
• The right amount of substrate: length (cm) x width (cm) : 140 = kg substrate with 5 cm thickness.

Dark 5kg (pH neutral sand) 

• Perfect hold for plant roots: substrate with 0.2 - 0.6 mm grain size for freshwater and marine aquariums and terrariums.
• Vigorous plant growth: prevents the seeping in of sludge and other waste material with its fine granulation and density.
• Ideal for fish, invertebrates and plants: no release of unwanted pollutants into the water. Fine granite sand is gentle on the sensitive barbels of the bottom-dwellers.
• No light reflections – full colouring of plants and fish: easily scared animals feel more comfortable and show their full, natural colouring.
