Biotop Bed Europe - Ibon RiverBed

The WIO Biotop Bed Europe - Ibon RiverBed is a substrate mixture of light sand, rock pieces and dark gravel. The mixture of the Biotop Bed Europe - Ibon RiverBed from WIO is inspired of the substrate of mountain lakes in the Pyrenees (Spain and France).

The WIO Biotop Bed Europe - Ibon RiverBed is perfect for creating a natural impression of lakes, rivers or streams from the high mountains. The combination of light sand, broken rock and rounded gravel looks absolutely realistic, as if taken directly from nature. Especially in combination with light green aquarium plants, the Biotop Bed Europe - Ibon RiverBed creates a very nice contrast that will definitely make your aquascaping layout something very special.

The Biotop Bed Europe - Ibon RiverBed has a sand/gravel/stone size of approx. 1 - 50 mm and can slightly harden the water in the aquarium.

TIP
Pure sand/gravel generally contains no (less) nutrients for aquarium plants and the important microfauna (bacteria). If you only use gravel as a substrate when setting up the aquarium, it is recommended (depending on the plants used) to use substrate fertilizer, e.g. fertilizer balls or a nutrient layer under the gravel.

NOTE
Although all WIO stones and gravel are pre-washed, it is still advisable to rinse them briefly with water before placing them in the aquarium. This way, any fine abrasion that may occur during transport does not get into the tank and/or initially cloud the water.

INFORMATION
The WIO Biotop Bed Europe - Ibon RiverBed can minimal harden the aquarium water.
