BEA Eco-Sand - Eco-friendly natural sand 0.4 and 1.7 mm (10 kg)

• PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

BEA ECO-SAND was designed to provide a substrate that combines aesthetics, functionality, and environmental ethics. Its light, natural color gives the aquarium a beautiful, luminous appearance, enhancing corals and fish, recreating the effect of tropical reefs and lagoons.

From an ethical perspective, it is an environmentally friendly, eco-friendly, and sustainable product, made with processes that have a reduced human impact. The production of BEA ECO-SAND contributes to reducing extraction from nature, allowing the aquarist to choose a conscious solution that respects marine ecosystems.

The composition is based on calcium carbonate naturally rich in magnesium and trace elements , which guarantee naturalness and support for the development of benthic microfauna and bacterial colonization, fundamental elements for the biological balance of the aquarium.

From a granulometric point of view, BEA ECO-SAND sand has a distribution between 0.4 and 1.7 mm , selected to ensure a good compromise between aesthetics, permeability and stability of the sand bed.

The morphology of the grains was evaluated according to the Powers/Pettijohn scale , placing the sand in the sub-angular range with an angularity index of 0.4–0.6 . This means that the grains are predominantly rounded , with blunt edges that ensure:

• increased colonization for microfauna and benthic organisms,
  
• adequate surface area for microbial colonization,
  
• less tendency to compaction and stability of the substrate over time.
  
  

BEA ECO-SAND is therefore not only an aesthetically pleasing substrate, but a valuable technical tool , designed to support the biological life of the marine aquarium while fully respecting the environment.

• DOSAGE
  
  

To calculate the amount of sand needed in kg, calculate the volume of the sand layer and multiply it by 1.5.


Practical example
50×50 cm aquarium with 3 cm of sand:
50×50×3 = 7500
7500 ÷ 1000 = 7.5 L
7.5L × 1.5 = approximately 11 kg of sand.

• HOW TO USE

Rinse thoroughly before use.
Spread evenly on the bottom of the tank to achieve the desired thickness.
