Description

The quartz sand from Aquael is an extremely fine and very light, white substrate for aquariums. This creates beautiful contrasts with coloured shrimps. It is also ideal for creating paths and walkways in an aquascape, for example. The natural substrate material does not contain any artificial additives or coatings, which is why it is water-neutral and does not release any polluting substances. In addition, the quartz sand can also be used in soft water tanks, as it does not harden the water.

The quartz sand is available in two different grain sizes. For large aquascapes, we recommend the 0,4 to 1,2 mm grain size. Both grain sizes are available in 2 kg or 10 kg bags. For small aquascapes, we advocate a 0,1 to 0,3 mm grain.

I'd like to know whether the sand is also suitable for a saltwater tank. If you could help me with that, I'd be very grateful. Best regards. André

According to the manufacturer, the sand is only suitable for freshwater aquariums.

Is the quartz sand rounded? I'd like to use it both for a Neocaridina tank and for an aquarium with armored catfish. Would it be a good choice for that? Many thanks

The Aquael sand has actually become my favorite sand. It looks natural and is priced very fairly by aquarium standards.

Sehr guter, natürlicher Sand zu einem fairen Preis!

Der Aquael-Sand ist tatsächlich mein Lieblingssand geworden. Wirkt natürlich und ist für Aquaristik-Verhältnisse sehr fair bepreist. Wer nach einem hellen Natursand sucht, dem würde ich gar nichts anderes mehr empfehlen.

It's my first sand in an aquarium. I read a lot about washing it beforehand because it's very dusty etc.

Sehr Empfehlenswert

Ist mein erster Sand im Aquarium. Ich las viel über vorher waschen, weil sehr staubig usw. Dies ist hier gar nicht der Fall, weder beim einfüllen, noch beim Wasser auffüllen gestaubt. Auch das Wasser blieb Glasklar. Denke meine Welse werden ihn mögen. Auch Preis/Leistung ist top.

sehr zu empfehlen !!

hier stimmt Preis/Leistung !!

endlich ein Hersteller der sich nicht maßlos den Sand monetär vergolden lässt ...

in Kombination mit dem Aquael-Kies in der gleichen Farbe ergibt sich ein schöner & natürlicher Verlauf des Scapes ...

bin begeistert ... die Red Sakura ebenso ... ;)

vor dem Einsetzen ins AQ waschen !
