About this product

This 5 lb bag of aquarium sand is a brown bio-substrate built on triple-washed natural stone, and it carries a live bacterial blend rather than bacteria you add separately. The bag holds 2.27 kg (5 lb) of kiln-dried Delta Sand from Aqua Natural, and its contents are intended for use as a primary substrate. The bacteria in the sand are the part that decides how you set the tank up: the pack is meant to go in wet, with the live culture already in place.

What is in the bio-substrate?

The sand is stone, and the living part is a patented blend of live Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria, seeded through it. The manufacturer states that ammonia, which is harmful, gets converted into nitrates by those bacteria as they break it down. The substrate material itself is 100% natural and sustainably sourced.

What bacteria are in the sand?

The manufacturer describes a patented blend of live Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter bacteria seeded through the substrate.

What colour is the sand?

What the live bacteria and the stone mean in a tank

The sand arrives wet because it is seeded with live nitrifying bacteria that target ammonia, and the manufacturer says the tank cycles instantly with it, so there is no need to cycle the tank for a week. The stone substrate is 100% natural and sustainably sourced, triple washed and kiln dried, and the bag can serve as a primary substrate. Where a full bed is wanted, the brand's direction is a 1:4 mix with matching Aqua Natural Delta Sand.
