Natural Color White Aquarium Sand 0.8 - 1mm 5Kg
The classic bright sand bed: at 0.8 - 1mm it is fine enough for bottom-dwellers to sift through and coarse enough not to lift at the first sign of flow. A 5kg bag covers a standard aquarium base.
Beyond aquarium fish tanks it works just as well in vivariums, in hobby and craft projects, and around the garden - it is an easy way to brighten up plant pots.
Specification
- 0.8 - 1Mm (fine sand)
- Supplied in 5kg bag.
Working out how much you need
To reach a Two Inch (2") gravel depth in your fish tank, measure up and follow these three steps:
- Multiply tank LENGTH by tank WIDTH in inches. Worked example: 47" Inches x 19" Inches = 893
- Divide that figure by 10. Worked example: 893 / 10 = 89.3
- Divide by 2.2 to convert to kilogrammes. Worked example: 89.3 / 2.2 = 40.5 KG REQUIRED
Rough guide for a 2" gravel depth
- 60cm / 2ft TANK = 25 kg
- 80cm / 2.6ft TANK = 30kg
- 100cm / 3.3ft TANK = 35 kg
- 120cm / 4ft TANK = 40 kg
Treat these as approximates - you may well want a deeper or thinner layer of gravel.
Getting fine sand into your fish tank successfully
- Rinse the sand until the water runs clear, then add it to the aquarium before filling. Make sure it is completely saturated and very wet beforehand.
- Pat the sand down so it is flat and even across the base of your fish tank.
- Fill the tank with water, breaking the fall so the sand is not disturbed too much. This is important while the water level is still shallow.
- Once the tank is full, remove any small particles which may be floating. Switch on your filter and the tank will clear.
- If you have powerheads / wavemakers in your aquarium, make sure these are not pointed directly at the sand.
