Give your aquarium a healthy and aesthetically pleasing environment with this natural river sand. Ideal for freshwater aquariums, it promotes plant rooting and the well-being of your fish.
The Scalare river sand is a high-quality natural substrate, ideal for recreating an authentic aquatic environment in your aquarium. This carefully selected sand offers perfect support for aquatic plants and contributes to the biological balance of your ecosystem.
Unlike artificial sands, Scalare river sand is free of chemicals and dyes. It is completely safe for your fish and other aquarium inhabitants and does not affect water parameters.
Its fine particle size allows good rooting of plants, thus promoting their growth and development. Plants, in return, contribute to the oxygenation of the water and the absorption of waste, creating a healthier and more stable environment for your fish. 🐠
This river sand is particularly suitable for planted aquariums, community aquariums, and biotope aquariums. It can also be used as a base substrate in an under-gravel filtration system.
For optimal use, rinse the sand thoroughly before introducing it into the aquarium. Spread it evenly over the bottom of the aquarium, ensuring sufficient thickness for plant rooting (approximately 5 to 7 cm).
With Scalare river sand, you offer your fish and plants a healthy, natural, and aesthetic environment. A solid foundation for a thriving aquarium!

Yes, it is highly recommended to rinse Scalare river sand thoroughly before introducing it into your aquarium. This helps to remove any fine particles or impurities that could cloud the water. Rinse it under running water until the water is clear.
Scalare river sand is generally compatible with most species of freshwater fish. However, for burrowing fish, a thicker layer of sand may be necessary to allow them to dig comfortably without reaching the bottom of the tank. Always monitor the behavior of your fish after introducing a new substrate.
To keep the river sand clean and healthy, it is advisable to regularly siphon the substrate during water changes. This helps to remove organic waste and debris that accumulates over time. You can also use snails or detritivorous shrimp to help clean the sand.
