## Summary description

Riverbed Sand by Hagen is a 4.5 kg substrate designed for aquatic turtles and other freshwater terrarium inhabitants. The product provides a natural-looking sandy bottom suitable for digging and foraging, supports water circulation and filtration when used with filtration systems, and is appropriate for aquarium and paludarium setups that require inert, non-toxic sand.

## Long description

Hagen Riverbed Sand 4.5 kg is an inert, non-toxic substrate formulated for aquatic turtles and other freshwater terrarium inhabitants. The fine natural-looking sand creates a realistic riverbed appearance suitable for aquariums and paludariums. It supports burrowing and foraging behaviours while remaining chemically stable in freshwater environments, making it compatible with standard filtration and circulation systems when properly maintained.
Advantages
Riverbed Sand provides a consistent grain size that encourages natural digging and substrate exploration without releasing harmful substances into the water. Its inert composition keeps water chemistry stable, which reduces the need for frequent chemical adjustments. The sand layer helps to anchor plants and décor, and it enables effective mechanical filtration when used in combination with aquarium filters and biological media.
Suitable for
Aquatic turtles in freshwater tanks
Freshwater terrariums and paludariums
Habitats requiring a natural sandy bottom for digging and foraging
Setups where an inert, non-reactive substrate is required to maintain stable water parameters
Key specifications
Weight: 4.5 kg
Material: inert, non-toxic sand
Grain type: fine sand suitable for burrowing
Color: natural riverbed sand tone
Intended environment: freshwater aquariums and paludariums
How to use
Rinse the sand thoroughly with clean freshwater before adding it to the tank to remove dust and fines. Spread an even layer across the bottom of the aquarium or paludarium; typical depth for aquatic turtles and freshwater setups is 2–4 cm depending on species and desired landscaping. After placement, add water slowly to avoid disturbing the substrate. Combine with appropriate filtration and regular maintenance routines to keep water clear and healthy.
Usage recommendations
Monitor water parameters regularly after installation. For hatchlings or species prone to ingestion of substrate, consider shallow layering or alternate substrate options. Replace or top up sand as needed during long-term maintenance to preserve aesthetic and functional properties.
