Description
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.
JBL Sansibar White in Singapore Tanks
Sansibar White is a bright, fine granite sand with a 0.2-0.6mm grain that gives a crisp, clean base for both planted and marine setups. We see it chosen most for high-contrast scapes where dark fish or vivid corals need a light backdrop to stand out. The fine grain packs densely, keeping waste on the surface and giving rooted plants a firm hold without compacting into anaerobic pockets when bedded sensibly.
Because it is pH-neutral, it suits the soft, slightly acidic water our taps deliver once dechlorinated, and it will not buffer or shift your readings. The rounded granite grain is gentle on the barbels of bottom-dwellers, so it is a safe bed for Corydoras and small loaches. As a bright sand it does reveal mulm, so keep up a steady siphoning routine.
See the full substrate range for tone options, and pair this with our freshwater sand guide and best sand for Corydoras notes.
