Black Sand – Aquarium Substrate for a Clean, Modern Aquascape
Give your aquarium an instant visual upgrade with Black Sand, available from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums. This fine, natural-looking substrate creates strong contrast that makes fish colours look brighter and plants look greener—perfect for modern aquascapes, shrimp tanks, and community setups.
Black sand is also a practical choice: it helps your tank look cleaner between maintenance days and provides a comfortable surface for bottom-dwelling fish that like to forage and sift.
Why You’ll Love Black Sand
- Enhances colour in fish and plants with bold contrast
- Clean, modern look for display tanks and aquascapes
- Bottom-dweller friendly fine texture for natural foraging behaviour
- Shrimp-friendly surface for grazing and exploring
- Helps hide debris so the tank stays looking tidy longer
- Versatile for community tanks, planted tanks, and feature scapes
How to Use
- Add a 3–6cm layer depending on your layout (deeper for slopes or heavy planting).
- Fill the tank slowly to avoid disturbing the sand.
- For planted tanks, consider adding root tabs for heavy root-feeding plants.
Bring your aquascape together with Black Sand from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums—a simple change that makes a huge difference to the look of your tank.
