White Sand – Bright, Natural Aquarium Substrate for Freshwater Tanks
Create a clean, beachy, natural base with White Sand, available from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums. White sand instantly brightens the whole aquarium, makes plants look greener, and creates stunning contrast with driftwood, rocks, and colourful fish.
It’s also a great functional choice for many species—especially bottom dwellers that love to forage and sift through sand—while giving you an easy substrate to shape into slopes and smooth contours for aquascaping.
Why Choose White Sand?
- Bright, natural look that lifts the whole aquascape
- Great for sand-sifters like corydoras and other bottom dwellers
- Easy to shape for clean lines, slopes, and modern aquascapes
- Highlights fish colour and complements plants and décor
- Versatile for community tanks, planted tanks, and feature displays
- Helps show debris so you can spot and clean problem areas quickly
How to Use (Setup Tips)
- Rinse if needed to reduce initial cloudiness.
- Add a 3–6cm layer (deeper if you’re building slopes or keeping plants with larger root systems).
- Fill the tank slowly onto a plate or plastic bag to avoid disturbing the sand.
- For planted tanks, use root tabs for heavy root feeders, or combine sand as a top layer over a nutrient substrate.
Bring a crisp, natural finish to your aquarium with White Sand from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums—perfect for bright aquascapes and bottom-dwelling fish that love sand.
