      This river sand is particularly suitable for freshwater aquariums, but can also be used in some brackish water aquariums after appropriate rinsing. It is recommended to rinse the sand thoroughly with clear water before introducing it into the aquarium to remove any dust or impurities. A sand bed with a thickness of 5 to 7 cm is generally sufficient for most planted aquariums.🐟

      In addition to its aesthetic appearance and benefits for plants, Scalare river sand contributes to the biological balance of your aquarium by serving as a support for nitrifying bacteria. These bacteria play an essential role in the nitrogen cycle, transforming organic waste into less toxic substances for fish.

      With Scalare river sand, you offer your fish and plants a healthy and natural environment, while creating a beautiful and balanced aquatic decor.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Does this river sand affect the pH of my aquarium water?

      No, Scalare river sand is neutral and will not significantly affect the pH of your water. However, it is always recommended to regularly monitor the water parameters of your aquarium, as other factors can influence the pH, such as organic waste, dissolved CO2 and water changes.

      Should I rinse the river sand before using it in my aquarium?

      Yes, it is strongly recommended to rinse the river sand thoroughly with clear water before introducing it into your aquarium. This will remove any dust or impurities that could cloud the water and harm the water quality. You can use a bucket and a garden hose to rinse the sand until the water is clear.

      What thickness of river sand should I use in my aquarium?

      The ideal thickness of the sand bed depends on the type of aquarium you have and the plants you want to keep. In general, a thickness of 5 to 7 cm is sufficient for most planted aquariums. This allows the roots of the plants to develop properly and provides sufficient surface area for beneficial bacteria to attach. If you have fish that like to dig in the sand, you can slightly increase the thickness of the sand bed.
