Aquarium Gravel and Sand for Beautiful and Healthy Aquascapes

Enhance your aquariums foundation with our premium selection of aquarium gravel and sand. These substrates not only add visual appeal but also support the health of your aquatic ecosystem. Whether youre setting up a freshwater tank, a planted aquascape, or a vibrant cichlid habitat, our range of gravel and sand includes options to suit every type of aquarium.

Why Choose Aquarium Gravel and Sand?

Choosing the right substrate is essential for creating a balanced and thriving environment. Gravel offers a natural look that helps anchor plants, while sand provides a smooth surface that fish and invertebrates enjoy exploring. Both options add depth and texture to your setup, complementing the colours of plants, rocks, and fish. Our variety of colours and textures allows you to design a custom aquascape that reflects your style and meets the needs of your aquatic life.

Benefits of Quality Aquarium Substrate

A quality substrate like gravel or sand can improve water quality by encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria, which helps to break down waste. These substrates also support root development for planted tanks, giving plants the stability they need to flourish. For species like cichlids and bottom-dwelling fish, substrate choice plays a role in replicating natural habitats, promoting well-being and natural behaviours.

Our Range of Aquarium Gravel and Sand

At Riverwood Aquatics, we offer a wide range of substrates to match any setup. Choose from natural river gravel, vibrant coloured options, and fine sand to create the perfect base layer. Our substrates are aquarium-safe, thoroughly cleaned, and ready to support your tanks environment. Whether you need gravel to create texture in a planted tank or soft sand for bottom feeders, we have options to meet every aquascaping goal.

How to Use Gravel and Sand in Aquascaping

Using a combination of gravel and sand allows you to create depth and contrast in your aquarium. Layer different substrates to define areas for plants, rocks, and décor, or use sand in specific sections to create natural paths and clearings. Before adding any substrate, be sure to rinse it thoroughly to remove dust and particles. Properly prepared gravel and sand not only look better but also support a healthier environment for your fish and plants.
