## Summary description

Aqua Nova WIO Bumblebee Sand is decorative aquarium substrate supplied in a 2 kg bag.

Use to enhance aesthetics, provide a stable base for plants and ornaments, and improve visual contrast for fish and invertebrates.

## Long description

Aqua Nova WIO Bumblebee Sand is a decorative aquarium substrate supplied in a 2 kg bag. The yellow-golden granules are designed to create a natural-looking bottom in freshwater tanks, planted aquaria and terrariums. This sand provides a stable, visually contrasting surface for plants, ornaments and bottom-dwelling fish and invertebrates while contributing to the overall appearance of the aquarium.
Advantages
The sand has a uniform yellow-golden color and small, consistent grain size that helps achieve an even, natural look across the aquarium floor. Being a decorative substrate, it is inert and intended for visual enhancement without actively altering water chemistry. The 2 kg packaging is convenient for small to medium layouts, allowing targeted placement around plants, under decorations or along display areas to highlight fish coloration and structural features.
Suitable for
Freshwater aquariums with community fish
Planted tanks where a decorative top layer is desired (use with suitable plant substrate beneath)
Terrariums and paludariums for visual ground cover
Displays and aquascapes requiring yellow-golden contrast
When it may not be suitable
This decorative sand is not formulated as an active plant substrate and therefore should not be relied upon as the sole nutrient source for demanding aquatic plants. For aquariums where water chemistry must be tightly controlled (for example, soft, acidic setups or systems requiring buffering), choose a substrate specified for those parameters. Very fine sand may compact over time; if preventing compaction or anaerobic pockets is critical, consider mixing with coarser material or using underlayer substrates and regular maintenance.
Key specifications
Pack weight: 2 kg
Color: yellow-golden
Granule type: fine decorative sand
Intended use: decorative substrate for freshwater aquaria, planted tanks and terrariums
How to use
Rinse the sand thoroughly with clean water before adding it to the aquarium to remove dust and fines. Place a suitable base layer if live plants require nutrient-rich substrate; then add the decorative sand to a depth appropriate for the setup, typically 1–3 cm for simple decoration or more where planting is light. Shape slopes and contours as needed, position plants and ornaments, and add water slowly to avoid disturbing the layer. Monitor for cloudiness and perform partial water changes after initial filling until the water clears.
What to consider before purchase
Not a fertilizing substrate — additional plant substrate may be required for demanding plants
Quantity: one 2 kg bag covers limited area; calculate required volume for full tank coverage
Color effect: yellow-golden sand changes tank aesthetics and may influence perceived fish colors
Compatibility: check that bottom-dwellers and burrowing species are suitable for fine sand
Usage recommendations
For planted aquaria, use Aqua Nova WIO Bumblebee Sand as a decorative top layer over nutrient substrate. Rinse well before use, add in a thin even layer where rooting is minimal, and perform regular substrate maintenance to avoid compaction. For decorative displays, combine with stones and wood to create contrast and depth without altering water parameters.
