Description
Choco River Sand from the WIOdecor-Sands series by the manufacturer WIO is a very dark decorative sand with variable grain size between 0,1 - 2 mm. Due to its very dark, chocolate-like colouring, this sand is ideal for natural aquariums. By combining it with light green plants or other types of sand, complex contrasts can be achieved.

Choco River Sand - Left dry, right wet
Sand is usually a passive substrate that does not provide nutrients for the aquarium plants. Therefore, when setting up with sand as the sole substrate, the use of substrate fertiliser can be necessary. Fertiliser balls or tablets can be used to enrich specific parts of the aquarium with nutrients, so that especially plants with strong roots, such as cryptocorynes, can benefit from this.
Features
- Especially dark colouring
- Natural quartz sand
- Grain size from 0,1 to max. 2 mm in the mix
- Does not harden the water
Note
All WIOdecor sand types are pre-washed. Nevertheless, the manufacturer recommends briefly rinsing the sand with cold water before use to wash off any abrasion caused by transport. This also helps to prevent grains of sand from floating up when filling the aquarium.
