It is aquarium safe, reptile safe, and triple washed, making it a practical substrate option for display tanks and enclosures.
Common mistakes
- Skipping a rinse before setup

- Expecting every bag to look identical to stock photos
- Using too shallow a layer for display depth
Use made simple
- Lightly rinse before adding to the tank
- Add to an empty aquarium or enclosure
- Create desired depth or slope
- Add hardscape, plants, and decor
- Fill slowly to reduce cloudiness
Pair with
- Driftwood and natural stone
- Community freshwater fish
- Artificial or hardy live plants
- Reptile habitat decor

Important Notes
- Natural colour variation may occur between bags
