## Long description

Aqua Nova WIO Rocket Sand dark gray is a decorative aquarium substrate supplied in a 5 kg bag and intended for use in freshwater aquariums and terrariums. The sand creates a uniform, fine-grained layer that enhances contrast for plants, fish and decorative elements while maintaining a neutral, dark base. It is ready to use and suitable for laying as a top layer or a complete substrate surface where a consistent, non-reactive appearance is required.
Advantages
The dark gray grain size ensures an even coverage that highlights plant colors and fish patterns without releasing dyes or altering water chemistry when used as directed. Supplied in a practical 5 kg package, the sand is easy to apply and level, offering good visual consistency across the aquarium floor. Its neutral coloration reduces glare and provides a natural-looking backdrop for aquascapes and terrarium layouts.
Suitable for
Freshwater aquariums with live plants and community fish
Terrariums and paludariums requiring a dark, uniform substrate
Decorative layers over existing substrate for contrast and aesthetics
Short-term displays, staging, and layout trials in aquarium design
Key specifications
Color: dark gray
Package weight: 5 kg
Granule type: fine, uniform sand
Intended use: decorative substrate for freshwater aquariums and terrariums
Chemical behavior: neutral appearance; designed not to alter water appearance when rinsed and used correctly
How to use
Rinse the sand lightly before adding it to the aquarium to remove any loose dust. Spread an even layer of sand across the tank floor to the desired depth; depths of 2–4 cm are common for decorative cover, while deeper layers may be used where planting or rooting is required. When replanting or adjusting aquascapes, move decorations and plants gently to avoid creating cloudiness. Regular aquarium maintenance including gentle vacuuming at the surface will preserve appearance without disturbing the underlying layer extensively.
Usage recommendations
For best results, rinse the sand until water runs clear, add slowly to avoid suspension, and combine with suitable filtration and water flow to minimize turbidity. Avoid using this decorative sand as the sole nutrient layer for demanding plant species; consider adding root tabs or a separate substrate layer for heavy root feeders.
