Premium Sugar White Sand 4.5Kg

 

Premium, pure white quartz sand that’s pH‑neutral, triple‑washed, and kiln‑dried for exceptional cleanliness and clarity. Ideal as a main substrate or decorative top layer in freshwater aquariums, aquascapes, shrimp tanks, and reptile enclosures. Bright, sugar‑white grains highlight plant colours and fish, while remaining safe and inert.

Key features

  • Pure and natural: Uncoloured white quartz for a clean, modern look.
  • pH‑neutral and inert: Won’t alter water chemistry—safe for fish, shrimp, and plants.
  • Triple‑washed and kiln‑dried: Low dust, cleaner start-up, and easy rinsing.
  • Fine, comfortable grain: Gentle on bottom dwellers and ideal for corys and loaches.
  • Versatile use: Aquariums, aquascapes, aquariums with roots/rocks, and reptile habitats.
  • Consistent grade: Even grain size for smooth scapes and clear hardscape lines.​

Coverage guide

  • 4.5 kg covers approximately 30–35 cm x 30–35 cm at ~5 cm depth (adjust based on grain compaction and scape layout).
  • For planted tanks, target 4–6 cm depth; use more for graded slopes or to anchor hardscape.

Setup tips

  • Rinse lightly before use to remove transit dust (although pre‑cleaned).
  • Lay evenly, place a plate or plastic bag on the substrate, and fill slowly to reduce clouding.
  • Start filtration and allow any haze to clear; run fine mechanical media for faster polishing.
  • For planted tanks, consider nutrient capsules or a soil base layer under the sand for root feeders.

Care and maintenance

  • Stir gently in low‑flow zones to prevent compaction and gas pockets.
  • Use a narrow siphon for light vacuuming of debris on the surface.
  • For shrimp/planted setups, skim detritus to preserve microfauna and root zones.
