by JBL
$18.40
SKU J67055

 

  • 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 unwanted pollutants released into the water. Fine, round-shaped granite sand is gentle on sensitive barbels of bottom-dwellers.
  • Use: spread substrate on top of the nutrient substrate (approx. 6-8 cm for vigorous plant growth).
  • Contents: 1 bag Sansibar White. Not really suitable for undergravel heating cables. Freshwater substrate sand

 

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.

I recommend this product

Sansibar white sand.

Great item! Does not required to rinse unlike other common sands out there, makes my aquascaping easier! According to the product description on packaging the company has already prepared ready for your tank immediately. It’s optional to rinse again. I have clear water without rinsing it. For new start up tanks that will need time to cycle is a great option.
