Benefits

·       Water‐neutral: leaves pH, hardness, and chemistry unchanged

·       Enhances aquascaping with clean, crisp contrasts—perfect for highlighting shrimp and plants

Usage Instructions

1.      Rinse thoroughly under running water until it runs clear to remove dust and grit

2.      Add gently to the aquarium in a layer of 2–3 cm (adjust based on tank size and aquascape design).

3.      Avoid strong water currents during initial setup to prevent layer disruption.

4.      Regular maintenance: during water changes or gravel vacuuming, be cautious to avoid removing substrate unintentionally.

5.      Refresh slowly: replace small amounts as needed rather than fully changing the substrate.

Aquael Quartz Sand 0.1–0.3 mm offers a pure, aesthetic, and safe substrate solution for planted tanks, shrimp setups, and community aquariums—delivering excellent visual impact and aquatic well-being with minimal upkeep.
