Collection: Gravel & Sands

The substrate material used in an aquarium may be purely decorative, or it may serve a particular purpose - such as forming part of the filtration or as a rooting medium for growing plants. The two most commonly used substrate materials are gravel and sand.

Excellent company with super fast delivery on my new aquarium! Delivery driver very helpful also helping me get it into the house! I chose not to add middle door on the cabinet and add baskets this is not how the juwel Rio comes as standard & also I changed the bulb!

Online order. Everything was clear and easy to understand with ordering. Biomaster 2 was delivered quickly and well packaged. I did have a query over the piping. I called the contact line which was answered immediately 👍. The guy I spoke to solved my query straight away in simple A,B,C walkthrough step. Great experience and will be back. Paul
