Benefits

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

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.
