The Witte Kiezel 8-12mm from Scalare is a white quartz substrate of great purity, specially designed for freshwater aquariums. This decorative gravel offers an exceptional visual effect, showcasing the colors of fish and plants. Its grain size between 8 and 12 mm ensures optimal drainage and promotes soil oxygenation, creating a healthy environment for aquatic life. ✨
This gravel is non-calcareous, which means it does not affect water parameters (pH, GH, KH). It is therefore perfectly suited to sensitive aquariums, where water stability is paramount. In addition, its smooth and rounded surface prevents injury to burrowing fish and allows for easy cleaning. 🐠
The Witte Kiezel Scalare is also ideal for planted aquariums. Its grain size allows plant roots to anchor easily, while ensuring good circulation of water and nutrients. A healthy substrate is essential for the growth and health of aquatic plants. 🌊
For optimal use, rinse the gravel with clear water before introducing it into the aquarium. Spread it evenly over the bottom of the aquarium, to a thickness of 5 to 10 cm, depending on the needs of your plants. ✨

Yes, Witte Kiezel Scalare gravel is suitable for most freshwater fish. Its smooth and rounded surface is gentle on bottom-dwelling fish and digging species. However, it is always best to check the specific needs of your fish to ensure that the substrate is appropriate.
It is recommended to clean the gravel regularly during water changes in your aquarium. You can use a siphon to vacuum up debris and waste that has accumulated in the gravel. Avoid using chemicals or soaps, as they can be harmful to your fish and plants.
The amount of gravel needed depends on the size of your aquarium and the needs of your plants. In general, a layer of 5 to 10 cm of gravel is sufficient. If you have deep-rooted plants, you can increase the thickness of the gravel layer. It is also important to leave enough space for your fish to swim freely.
