Bioscape Coral Sand 5kg Bag 1mm Diameter
Description & care
Bioscape Coral Sand – 5kg Bag, 1mm Diameter
Create a natural-looking aquarium base with Bioscape Coral Sand. Featuring a fine grain size of approximately 1mm, this coral sand is ideal for aquariums where a light-coloured substrate can enhance the appearance of fish, rocks and decorations.
Coral sand contains calcium carbonate, which can help increase water hardness and pH as it dissolves. This makes it a useful substrate option for aquariums housing species that prefer harder, more alkaline water, such as certain African cichlids and marine aquarium inhabitants.
