Zanzibar White 10kg – fine white substrate

This 10 kg pack of fine white substrate suits aquarists who keep rooted plants or burrowing fish, and terrarium keepers who need a dry, desert-type base for their enclosure. The grain size of 0.2–0.6 mm defines how it behaves in both applications.

Why it matters

• The 0.2–0.6 mm grading gives plant roots a substrate they can grip firmly and draw nutrients from.
• The manufacturer states the substrate is safe for reptiles, which makes it usable in terrarium setups.
• Dust from transport is removed by a brief rinse under tap water before the substrate goes into the tank or enclosure.
• The manufacturer notes that burrowing fish need a substrate without sharp edges, which applies to this product's fine grading.

What it works with

The substrate is listed for aquarium use with rooted plants and burrowing fish, and for terrariums housing desert animals. The manufacturer advises against underfloor heating with fine substrate, as it prevents proper water circulation; underfloor heating is recommended only with medium to coarse grades.
