Should the sand be washed beforehand?

Since the substrate has been pre-cleaned, it only needs to be rinsed briefly in tap water before use.
Translated from German
Is the sand dark or gray? Because I have dark in my aquarium.

The product is Sansibar Dark, but because the grains of sand are not uniformly colored, the sand looks rather gray once it is placed in the aquarium.

Beautiful dark substrate, but not black, rather anthracite. Fits well into my design, I used 5 kg for a 30 l cube. A bit less would have been enough though.

Schöner Bodengrund

Schöner dunkler Bodengrund, allerdings nicht schwarz, sondern eher anthrazit. Passt gut in meine Gestaltung, ich hab 5kg für einen 30 l Cube verbraucht. Ein bisschen weniger hätte aber auch gereicht. Ich hab den Sand vorher ordentlich gewaschen, hat ne Weile gedauert, aber auch wenn das Wasser den ersten Abend etwas "neblig" war, konnte ich problemlos sofort meine Pflanzen einsetzen und danach noch ein Weilchen rein starren :)

We've been using this sand for quite a while now and just think it's great. The sand isn't black as some assume but a nice gray tone.

Toller Sand den wir nicht mehr missen möchten.

Wir nutzen diesen Sand seit schon länger und finden den einfach Klasse. Der Sand ist nicht wie einige vermuten Schwarz sondern ein schöner Grau-Ton.

Wobei Dark auch nicht automatisch Schwarz bedeutet. 🙈

Er sieht wirklich sehr edel aus.

Er ist schön fein und perfekt für unsere Panzerwelse zum buddeln.

Ich kann ihn nur weiterempfehlen!

Very fast delivery.

The sand is excellent, I didn't wash it and the next day the water in the tank was completely clear. Super happy with it :-)

Absolut empfehlenswert

Sehr schnelle Lieferung.

Der Sand ist top, ich habe ihn nicht mehr gewaschen und am nächsten Tag war das Wasser im Becken vollkommen klar. Bin super zufrieden damit :-)
