Seachem Onyx Sand Planted Aquarium Substrate
Seachem Onyx Sand Planted Aquarium Substrate
Seachem Onyx Sand is a natural substrate designed for use in the planted aquarium where plants are the primary focus. Its unique composition raises mineral content and slightly enriches the water — providing a beneficial mineral supplement for plants while maintaining a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Onyx Sand has a distinct dark pebbled appearance that works beautifully in heavily planted and hardscape aquariums. Like all Seachem Flourite substrates, Onyx Sand is permanent and never needs to be replaced.
