Inferno Sand – Your Ready-to-Scape Warm, Dark Biotope Substrate

Inferno Sand brings rich, earthy depth to your aquascape with its dark natural tones and subtle reddish tint inspired by tropical riverbeds and wetland silts. This warm, organic palette enhances contrast, highlights plant greens, and creates a grounded, atmospheric base ideal for Amazonian, West African, and Southeast Asian biotopes.

Its mixed grain sizes provide a highly natural texture that supports strong rooting, stable planting, and natural behaviors such as digging, foraging, and sifting — perfect for cichlids, loaches, catfish, and bottom-dwelling species. Whether used as a standalone substrate or paired with complementary sands, Inferno Sand adds realism, warmth, and visual richness to any setup.

Fully inert, pre-washed, and pH-neutral, Inferno Sand is safe for all aquatic and terrestrial life, making it a versatile foundation for warm-toned aquariums, terrariums, and paludariums.
