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. Under gravel heating can only be recommended for medium-fine to coarse substrates because water circulation cannot really build up in very fine substrates.
Features:
- Perfect hold for plant roots: substrate with 0.2 – 0.6 mm grain size for freshwater and marine aquariums and terrariums
- Ideal for aquarium care: its fine granulation and density prevents mulm and other waste material from seeping in
- Ideal for fish, invertebrates and plants: no release of unwanted pollutants into the water. Fine granite sand is gentle on the sensitive barbels of the bottom-dwellers
- No light reflections – full coloring of plants and fish: easily scared animals feel more comfortable and show their full, natural colour
