General Sands & Gravels

A range of decorative sands & gravels for freshwater & marine aquariums
 
B.D. Aquarium Sand
  • Brightens aquariums
  • Far cleaner than gravel
  • Does not alter pH
  • Suitable for both fresh water and marine
  • Suberb for catfish & loaches as their delicate barbels are not damaged by the sand
Wash in clean water prior to use

Note : When used in conjunction with undergravel filters, a layer of filter matting is required below the gravel

Why? : Because sand grains are so fine, they will fall through slots in undergravel plates and could affect the operation of the filter

NatureSoil - The Perfect Aquarium Ground For Your Tropical Plants And Fishes

NatureSoil by Oliver Knott (Aquascaping Contest World Champion 2004 & 2005) is the perfect aquarium ground for your tropical plants and fishes.

Benefits Of Use:

  • It strongly sorbs impurities and keeps high clarity aquarium water.
  • Keeps the water pH slightly acidic and lowers the total hardness.
  • It prepares a slightly acidic softwater environment that many freshwater tropical fish prefer.
  • Accelerates propagation of filtrate bacteria.
  • If there are not any water plants within the aquarium NatureSoil can be used as bottom filter or filter material.
  • Its special granulated shape supplies full oxygen water to the roots of water plants.
  • Good for aquariums with thick water plants (Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus).
  • Use the old water from your aquarium to water your house, and garden plants. The water is optimal for this purpose.
How To Use:

1. If necessary place a fertilized ground on the empty aquarium bottom (depends on the planting).
2. Pave your aquarium with un-washed NatureSoil.
3. Use a scraper or ruler and level the surface of the NatureSoil.
4. Fill or spray water above the NatureSoil, only 3-4cm high till the soil is lightly covered with water. Now it is easier to put the plants in the soil.
5. Start to plant your aquarium. Be sure to spray the plants with water until the planting is over, and then slowly fill up the aquarium with water.
6. Plug in your filter system and the water will clear after a few hours.

Volume:

10 litres of Controsoil can pave 60cm x 30cm x6cm in volume.

Care and Attention:

  • Don't mix with other products that will enhance pH or GH.
  • The water quality effect of Controsoil will be descended gradually.
  • When releasing living subjects into a new aquarium, do it gradually and steadily, in order to give them enough time to adjust to the new environment.
  • Controsoil is made of natural material, so some foreign materials such as small wood chips might be mixed in.
  • Use for Freshwater-aquariums, Paludariums, and Tropical Terrariums.
  • Not suitable for strong digging fishes.
  • Not suitable for use with aquarium vacuum cleaners.
Available in a choice of two colours, Black and Brown.
