Sugar White Aquarium Sand, 0.5–1 mm Triple-Washed Natural Substrate in 10 lb Bag or 4-Pack – Aqua Natural
Sugar white aquarium sand creates a bright off-white base that contrasts with plants, rocks, driftwood, and other tank decor. Aqua Natural uses 100% natural sand with a dense 0.5–1-millimeter grain size and no fine particles, helping the substrate settle rather than blow around under normal tank flow. It is triple washed and kiln dried before packing and is sourced under license in New Zealand.
Each bag contains 10 pounds of substrate for aquariums, aquascaping, terrariums, or vivariums, with variants offering one bag or a four-pack. Plan depth from the tank footprint and desired landscape, then inspect and prepare the sand according to package directions before adding livestock. Add water slowly over a plate or bag to reduce disturbance, and match substrate depth and cleaning method to the animals, plants, filtration, and habitat style.
