Dymax Pearl Sand is an ideal substrate for your freshwater aquarium.

The grains are larger at 0.9-1.2cm, making for a varied and less fine substrate.

Sand substrates are great for a fish only aquariums, serving the purpose of providing a surface for the beneficial bacteria to build colonies. With todays filter technology, the size of the gravel does not really matter, but it is recommended to use a finer gravel if bottom feeders are home in the tank.

The substrate should be about 5-6.5cm in height (or depth) on the base of the tank (which is roughly 4kg of substrate for approximately 380 square centimeters of tank surface.
Please note: deeper layers especially with finer gravel sizes can pose a danger, given that food particles will sink into a less oxygenated area. This will over time produce hydrogen sulfite (rotten egg smell), which is highly toxic for the fish.

ALL Sand should be carefully washed before use.
This is a 4kg bag.

Great for:

  • Aquascaping and landscaping.
  • Providing a comforting habitat for the aquatic life.
  • Providing shelter for fish to reduce stress.
