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.
JBL Sansibar Orange for Warm-Toned Aquascapes
Sansibar Orange brings a warm, earthy tone that suits biotope-style layouts and tanks built around reds and oranges in the fish or hardscape. We like it for setups echoing a sun-baked riverbed, where the colour gives instant depth and warmth that grey or white sands cannot. The fine, dense grain keeps waste sitting on top, making your weekly maintenance quicker and your scape cleaner between changes.
It is a natural sand rather than a dyed product, so the colour stays put and nothing leaches into the column. Being pH-neutral, it sits well with the soft, slightly acidic water Singapore taps give after conditioning, and it will not interfere with delicate shrimp or plant parameters. The smooth grain protects the barbels of foraging catfish and loaches that like to sift the bed.
