• Fine, uncoloured sandy soil: substrate for fresh and saltwater aquariums and aqua-terrariums
• Vigorous plant growth: prevents the seeping in of sludge and other waste material with its fine granulation and density
• Prevents injuries of the mucous membrane: fine, round-shaped natural sand is gentle on sensitive barbels. Ideal for grubbing fish, such as armoured catfish and loaches
• Ideal for fish, invertebrates and plants: no unwanted pollutants released into the water.
• Package contents: 1 bag Sansibar Grey. Grain size: 0.2 - 0.6 mm. Not fully suitable for undergravel heating cables

Ideal substrate
The substrate is an important part of the aquarium interior 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 definitely 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 plant roots approx. 6-8 cm).
