JBL Sansibar DARK 10 kg, Dark substrate for freshwater and saltwater aquariums

Great colour and fine enough for my fish

The grain is very fine. Even finer than ADA’s La Plata. I have this in my buce/pea puffer tank and it looks great.

My second fish tank set up. This was for prawns and loaches. Obeyed the instructions and washed it thoroughly ( about 8 times), could not get it to clear, put it in the tank, filled with water, very cloudy. Eventually my carbon filtered pump cleared the water with the addition of a water treatment, now it looks fine.

I really like this sand and bought it for a new set up I am starting. It is not cheap, but it will last years. I got 20kgs or the light River for my 155 L cube, which was just about enough. I washed one bag at a time in a bucket, draining and rinsing about 6 times then added it to the tank. There was some clouding left, but it only lasted a day or so. The pictures above are when I added it and about 14 hours later. The grains are not too fine, and seem to have no sharp edges which your bottom dwellers will like. Obviously there are no nutrients for plants, but you can solve that with root tabs for the plants that need it, or just place it over a sub soil. I use a large diameter siphon vac. And the sand can be pulled into the tube, but it is easy to drop it back out, or, even if it reaches the bucket you can just add it back in.

What I liked about this product is that it is ready to use, it looks great inside my new aquarium. Unfortunately one of the plastic bags has a hole in it do some sand was lost, but no much so all is well. It may be worth thinking about using thicker and stringer plastic bags to prevent this from happening in the future, just my suggestion guys. I purchased four x 5 kg bags which was the right Amount of substrate for my aquarium. It’s looking good. Many thanks.

The media could not be loaded. So I had a problem with my tank that was causing my fish to die...so i took the decision to completely empty my tank. I opted for the sand gravel as i read its great for shrimp and bottom feeders. The sand gravel is really hard to clean. It took me 36 buckets to rinse it. My tank was a milky colour for 10 days, but it was a complete tank change, so it was to be expected. As hard as it is to rinse, I would do it all over again as it looks great! The food sits on the top too, so i can see the tank keeping clean for longer. I have a 110 litre tank and 10kg gave me about 2inches on the bottom.

As described. Nice clean non dusty sand. Makes the tank look amazing! Would buy again

I bought 3 5kg bags of dark and each bag took over an hour to wash and the water was still cloudy. I risked it and added it to my tank. In the 1st picture. That was 7 hours after it had been added. 2nd picture was 26 hours after it had been added and the tank was still cloudy. For something that's meant to be tank ready. Those 3 bags definitely wasn't.

Schöner Sand lässt sich gut im Aquarium verteilen und die Welse lieben es dort zu buddeln

Sable de qualité, correspond parfaitement à mes attentes.

Fiyatı yüksek ama akvaryumunuzda nehir ambiansı oluşturmak istiyorsanız tartışmasız en iyi kum.

Sable aquarium d’un blanc pur, très fin, les corydoras adorent et passent leurs journées à le fouiner.Ne rejete pas de couleur et aucun poissons morts avec ce sable (xipho, crevettes néon et corydoras) / je recommande sans problème ce sable :)
