• Sand placement: Spread the sand evenly along the bottom of the empty tank or terrarium. Pour the sand gently from a low height to avoid scratching the aquarium glass.
• Standalone or Mixed: Use alone for a natural base or combine with other WIO sands and gravels for a customized substrate look.
• Decorate and plant: Arrange rocks, driftwood, and plants to create a harmonious and appealing environment.
• Filling the tank: Pour water carefully, avoiding direct contact with the sand. Pro tip: Pour water onto a plate or piece of furniture to minimize disturbance.
• Finishing touch: Use a mesh to skim off any floating particles, then turn on the filter and watch any remaining cloudiness disappear within a few hours, leaving a clear, natural finish.
• Easy maintenance: Regularly, for example, with each water change, gently vacuum the sand to remove any accumulated debris or algae.
