How to use

Before adding the sand to the aquarium, rinse it under running water until the rinse water runs clear to remove dust and fine particles. Distribute the sand evenly across the bottom of the tank or place it in layers over other substrates as required by your aquascape design. Install hardscape elements such as stones and driftwood gently to avoid stirring the sand excessively. When filling the tank with water, pour slowly onto a plate or dish placed on the substrate to minimize disturbance.

Usage recommendations

Use this decorative sand as a top layer or foreground accent in freshwater aquariums. For planted tanks that require nutrient-rich substrates, consider layering the Aqua Nova sand over a nutrient substrate or using root tabs for plant nutrition. Rinse prior to use and perform routine gentle maintenance to preserve appearance and prevent compaction.
