JBL Sansibar River 5kg (pH neutral sand)

Substrate with 0.8 mm grain size for freshwater and marine aquariums and terrariums. Prevents injuries of the mucous membrane: coarse-grained, round-shaped natural sand is gentle on sensitive barbels. Ideal for digging fish, such as rays, kuhli loarch, catfish, etc. Ideal for fish, invertebrates and plants: no unwanted pollutants released into the water. Use: Spread substrate on top of the nutrient substrate (approx. 6-8 cm for vigorous plant growth). Well suited for undergravel heater cables. Package contents: 1 bag Sansibar River. PRODUCT INFORMATION 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. FAQ Are the substrates of the Sansibar range plastic-coated soils ? > No, the substrates of the Sansibar range are not plastic-coated but pure natural products. Should JBL Sansibar be washed before use inside the aquarium ? > JBL Sansibar comes pre-cleaned. To wash out any abrasion caused in transit, we recommend rinsing JBL Sansibar before use in the aquarium. Please avoid unsettling the soil when filling in the water.
