JBL Sansibar Dark is a natural, fine sand substrate suitable for any aquarium.
- Ideal for all bottom-feeding animals - JBL Sansibar Dark is a fine, rounded dark sand of volcanic origin. It is gentle on the sensitive barbels of bottom-feeding fish such as cory catfish and loaches.
- This black gravel prevents light reflections. It makes easily frightened fish feel visibly more comfortable and display their full natural brilliant colours.
- Ideal for plant care - The fine grain size and dense layering prevent sludge and other debris from seeping in, thereby preventing decay processes which could hamper plant growth.
- Neutral in water - JBL Sansibar does not release hardness-producing substances or undesired silicates into the tank water.
JBL Sansibar Dark is pre-rinsed. Just the same, we recommend rinsing JBL Sansibar Dark before use in the aquarium to remove dust
resulting from transport. When refilling the tank, take care not to whirl up
the sand.
Suitable for all freshwater aquariums. Safe for salt water and terrariums.
Should JBL Sansibar be washed before use inside the aquarium ?
JBL Sansibar comes pre-cleaned. To wash out any abrasion caused in transit, we recommend rinsing JBL Sansibar before use in the aquarium. Please avoid unsettling the soil when filling in the water.
Can JBL Sansibar Dark also be used for aquariums with shrimps and other invertebrates?
Yes, this is no problem. The mineral composition of the natural product doesn’t contain any substances which are harmful to aquatic invertebrates.
On JBL Sansibar dark / grey we noticed a magnetic component. What is this?
JBL Sansibar black is a natural product which has small fluctuations in its mineral composition depending on its source. The "magnetic component", which can be traced to iron cores, occurs in isolated cases, but does not have any harmful effects on the operation of the aquarium.
Are the substrates of the Sansibar range plastic-coated soils ?
No, the substrates of the Sansibar range are not plastic-coated but pure natural products.
