GEX No Wash Sand 500ml for Quick Setups

No Wash Sand is a pre-rinsed decorative substrate that pours into a tank with minimal clouding, saving the long rinse that ordinary sand demands. The 500ml pack suits nano tanks, shallow scapes and topping off bare patches rather than carpeting a large floor. We point beginners and busy customers towards it when they want a tidy sand bottom without spending an afternoon at the sink fighting silt.

This is an inert decorative sand, so it does not buffer or fertilise the way active aquasoil does; pair it with root tabs if you plan rooted plants. A fine, smooth grain like this is kind to the barbels of bottom dwellers such as corydoras, who sift it constantly. Even pre-washed, a gentle pour and a quick top-up water change settle any last haze, which is worth doing given how visible fine particles are in warm, brightly lit SG tanks.

Keep the bed shallow over inert sand to avoid anaerobic pockets. Browse the full substrate range, and see our active vs inert substrate guide and sand for corydoras tanks for fit.
