JBL Sansibar ORANGE

Orange, fine substrate for freshwater and saltwater aquariums

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.

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).

• Fine, uncoloured sandy soil for freshwater 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 release of unwanted pollutants into the water.
