JBL Zanzibar GREY

JBL Sansibar GREY
Grey, fine substrate for freshwater and marine aquariums

• Fine, uncolored sandy substrate: Substrate for freshwater and marine aquariums and aqua-terrariums
• Vital plant growth: Prevents seepage of mulm and other debris due to fine grain size and dense storage
• Prevents mucous membrane damage: Fine, rounded natural sand is gentle on the sensitive barbels of bottom-dwelling fish. Ideal for burrowing fish such as armored catfish and loaches
• Optimal for fish, invertebrates and plants: No release of undesirable pollutants into the water.
• Scope of delivery: 1 bag Zanzibar Grey. Grain size 0.2-0.6 mm. Rather unsuitable for bottom heating cables

Optimal substrate 
The substrate is an important part of the aquarium setup, as many animals dig and search for food in the soil. Plants must also find a secure hold in it and absorb food from the soil with their roots. Digging fish absolutely need a substrate that is not sharp-edged. Bottom heating is only recommended for medium-fine to coarser bottom gravel because proper water circulation cannot occur with very fine bottom gravel. 

Use 
Rinse the bottom gravel under tap water to remove abrasion caused by transport. Place the substrate on top of the nutrient medium (JBL AquaBasis) to promote plant growth (approx. 6-8 cm for strong plant roots).
