JBL Sansibar Substrate Sand Dark 5KG

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 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.

We can only recommend undergravel heating 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 also promote the plant growth (for vigorous growth about 6-8 cm).

DARK: Dark (Black) substrate for freshwater and saltwater aquariums.

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, round-shaped granite sand is gentle on sensitive barbels of bottom-dwellers

No light reflections - full colouring of plants and fish: easily scared animals feel more comfortable and show their full, natural colouring
