Package Includes
1 × ANS Plant Gravel (1kg)
Fine, uncoloured sandy soil: substrate for fresh and saltwater aquariums and aqua-terrariums.
Vigorous plant growth: prevents the seeping in of sludge and other waste material with its fine granulation and density.
Prevents injuries of the mucous membrane: fine, round-shaped natural sand is gentle on sensitive barbels. Ideal for grubbing fish, such as armoured catfish and loaches.
Ideal for fish, invertebrates and plants: no unwanted pollutants released into the water.
Package contents: 1 bag Sansibar Grey. Grain size: 0.2 - 0.6 mm.
Not fully suitable for undergravel heating cables.
PRODUCT INFORMATION Ideal substrate:
The substrate is an important part of the aquarium components because a lot of animals dig in the ground to search for food.
The plants also need a safe hold and have to absorb the food in the ground through their roots.
Digging fish absolutely need a substrate which is not sharp-edged.
Undergravel heating can only be recommended for medium-fine to coarse substrates because water circulation cannot really build up in very fine substrates.
Use:
Rinse the substrate with tap water to remove any abrasion caused in transit. Put substrate on the nutrient substrate (JBL AquaBasis) to promote the plant growth (for vigorous growth about 6-8 cm).
Calculation formula.
The right amount of substrate: length (cm) x width (cm) : 140 = kg substrate with 5 cm thickness.
FAQAre the substrates of the Sansibar range plastic-coated soils ?> No, the substrates of the Sansibar range are not plastic-coated but pure natural products.Should JBL Sansibar be washed before use inside the aquarium ?> JBL Sansibar comes pre-cleaned. To wash out any abrasion caused in transit, we recommend rinsing JBL Sansibar before use in the aquarium. Please avoid unsettling the soil when filling in the water.On JBL Sansibar dark / grey we noticed a magnetic component. What is this?> JBL Sansibar black is a natural product which has small fluctuations in its mineral composition depending on its source. The "magnetic component", which can be traced to iron cores, occurs in isolated cases, but does not have any harmful effects on the operation of the aquarium.

With Live bacteria included !
AF Bio Sand is a natural white sand derived from the highest quality deposits. It is free of any contaminants and its calcium carbonate content helps to stabilize water chemistry.
The latest technology in AF Bio Sand significantly accelerates the maturation process of an aquarium, and allows faster livestock addition in a newly set up tank. The bottles included contain laboratory isolated strains of nitrifying bacteria and a nourishment, facilitating their development and multiplication.
The specialist formula of the product guarantees closing of the nitrogen cycle and elimination of harmful chemical compounds much faster than if using traditional substrates. The extremely easy usage of AF Bio Sand allows instant preparation of sand for use in the aquarium. Due to the extremely wide range of application, AF Bio Sand will also work perfectly in mature tanks as a substrate supplement. Sand granulation is 0.5-1.5 mm.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Sand residue emerges during the transport and it’s perfectly safe for your aquarium, though, in order to avoid water turbidity we strongly advise to rinse the sand in RODI water before use. Pour the contents of both bottles into 3 liters of saltwater, mix thoroughly, add to the sand bag and leave for 24 hours. In order to allow bacteria multiplication, do not close the bag.
We do not recommend storage in cool places, as it significantly increases the time of bacterial multiplication. The optimal sand maturation temperature is around 25-28°C (77-82°F). After 24 hours the sand is ready for use in the aquarium. When using in a functioning aquarium, please add sand gradually into the tank (small amounts day by day), monitor parameter changes and observe the corals.
