JBL Sansibar WHITE 5kg - Fine white ground substrate for freshwater or saltwater aquariums

• Perfect root support: soil substrate (02-0.6 mm grit) for freshwater or saltwater aquariums and terrariums
• Ideal for aquarium maintenance: the fine grain size and density of the sand prevent the infiltration of mulm and other waste.
• Ideal for fish, invertebrates and plants: no release of unwanted harmful substances into the water. Granite sand with rounded grains, preserving the sensitive barbels of bottom fish.
• Use: lay the substrate on nutritious soil (approx. 6 to 8 cm for good plant growth).
• Contents: 1 sachet of Sansibar White. Rather not recommended for underfloor heating cord.

An ideal substrate
Soil substrate is an important part of setting up an aquarium, as many animals forage the soil for food. Plants also need to be held firmly in place and take in food from the soil with their roots. Bottom foraging fish absolutely need a substrate without sharp edges. Underfloor heating is only recommended for medium to coarse-grained substrates, because if the grains are too fine, water circulation will not take place properly.

Use
Rinse the substrate with tap water to eliminate any trace of abrasion due to transport. Spread the soil substrate on the nutrient substrate (JBL AquaBasis) to stimulate plant growth (for vigorous growth approx. 6-8 cm).
