DYMAX PEARL SAND 4KG

Dymax Pearl Sand 4 kg is an ideal substrate for your freshwater aquarium.

The grains are larger at 0.9-1.2cm, making for a varied and less fine substrate.

Sand substrates are great for a fish only aquariums, serving the purpose of providing a surface for the beneficial bacteria to build colonies. With todays filter technology, the size of the gravel does not really matter, but it is recommended to use a finer gravel if bottom feeders are home in the tank.

Dymax Pearl Sand 4 kg should be about 5-6.5cm in height (or depth)  on the base of the tank (which is roughly 4kg of substrate for approximately 380 sqcm of tank surface. Please note: deeper layers especially with finer gravel sizes can pose a danger, given that food particles will sink into a less oxygenated area. This will over time produce hydrogen sulfite (rotten egg smell), which is highly toxic for the fish. ALL Sand should be carefully washed before use. This is a 4kg bag.
