Black Sand – Aquarium Substrate for a Clean, Modern Aquascape

Give your aquarium an instant visual upgrade with Black Sand, available from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums. This fine, natural-looking substrate creates strong contrast that makes fish colours look brighter and plants look greener—perfect for modern aquascapes, shrimp tanks, and community setups.
Black sand is also a practical choice: it helps your tank look cleaner between maintenance days and provides a comfortable surface for bottom-dwelling fish that like to forage and sift.

Why You’ll Love Black Sand

  • Enhances colour in fish and plants with bold contrast
  • Clean, modern look for display tanks and aquascapes
  • Bottom-dweller friendly fine texture for natural foraging behaviour
  • Shrimp-friendly surface for grazing and exploring
  • Helps hide debris so the tank stays looking tidy longer
  • Versatile for community tanks, planted tanks, and feature scapes

How to Use

  • Add a 3–6cm layer depending on your layout (deeper for slopes or heavy planting).
  • Fill the tank slowly to avoid disturbing the sand.
  • For planted tanks, consider adding root tabs for heavy root-feeding plants.
Bring your aquascape together with Black Sand from Aquarium Haven & Brisbane Discus & Aquariums—a simple change that makes a huge difference to the look of your tank.
