LAMELA Lamela WIO Mere River Kit aquarium decoration set, light brown river sand 20 kg, boxed

Lamela WIO Mere River Kit aquarium decoration set contains 20 kg of light brown river sand presented in a boxed kit. The product is intended for use as a natural-looking substrate in freshwater aquariums, terrariums and decorative displays. Its grain and colour support aquascaping techniques such as riverbed creation, substrate layering and hardscape stabilization, while providing a stable base for rooted plants and décor elements.

Advantages

This river sand is supplied in a ready-to-use 20 kg box that simplifies handling and storage. The light brown tone combines with a natural grain to create realistic riverbed visuals and to contrast with plants and stones. The sand's particle size supports even layering and helps keep hardscape elements in place during aquascaping. Designed for freshwater systems, it is suitable for planting and for stabilizing structures without the need for extensive preparation.

Suitable for

• Freshwater aquarium substrate for aquascapes and planted tanks
• Terrarium floors and naturalistic displays
• Creating riverbeds, creek effects and layered substrate designs
• Stabilizing hardscape elements such as rocks, driftwood and ornaments

Key specifications

• Typical use: substrate for planting, aquascaping and hardscape stabilization
• Packaging: boxed kit for easier transport and storage

How to use

Rinse the sand briefly with clean water to remove any dust before introducing it to the aquarium or terrarium. Distribute the sand evenly to achieve the desired depth and slope for planting or riverbed effects; a depth of 2–5 cm is common for general use, while planted areas may require more depth depending on root systems. Place hardscape elements such as rocks and driftwood on top of the sand and adjust to ensure stability. When used in aquaria, perform gradual water fills to avoid disturbing the substrate and use filtration to clear any initial cloudiness.

Usage recommendations

For planted aquaria, consider combining this river sand with a nutrient-rich substrate layer beneath if active root-feeding plants are used. Avoid using in marine or brackish systems. Regular gentle vacuuming during maintenance will keep the appearance natural while protecting beneficial microorganisms in the substrate.
