SOILICO SandBase QUARTZ – Terrarium Quartz Sand is a high-quality, light quartz sand with a grain size of 0.1–0.5 mm and a quartz content of over 98%. It is ideal for creating clean sand zones in terrariums or for making mixtures more permeable. SOILICO SandBase QUARTZ is particularly suitable for keepers who want to create a calm, bright sand aesthetic and a uniform mineral structure in their terrarium setup.

What makes SOILICO SandBase QUARTZ special:
– Uniform grain size: fine, clean structure for calm and clearly defined sand surfaces
– High quartz content: over 98% quartz for a natural, light look
– For increased permeability in mixtures: useful when air and water circulation in the substrate needs to be improved
– Flexible use: can be used as a sand zone, layer, transition, or mineral admixture
– Resealable zip closure: clean storage and easy portioning for daily use

Typical applications:
– Sand zones in desert and semi-desert terrarium setups, also as a decorative surface
– As an admixture when substrate mixtures need to be looser and more permeable
– For structured transitions between dry and slightly more humid areas
– According to the product content, also suitable as a substrate for aquariums

Content:
– 4.5 kg

Application:
For mixtures, add gradually until the structure and appearance match the desired terrarium setup. For layered setups, it is recommended to place hard decorations stably and not to heavily load fresh surfaces directly.

For a functional enclosure, the material can be easily combined with suitable isopods, food & minerals for invertebrates, and other accessories from furnishings, moss & cork.

What is SOILICO SandBase QUARTZ intended for?
SOILICO SandBase QUARTZ is intended for clean sand zones and for substrate mixtures where more permeability and a clear, natural look are desired. The fine grain size can be used specifically as a zone or layer.
What is the grain size and quality of the sand?
It is quartz sand with a grain size of 0.1–0.5 mm and a quartz content of over 98%. This creates a uniform, calm appearance and a well-controllable mineral structure.
Can SOILICO SandBase QUARTZ be mixed with other substrates?
Yes. As an admixture, quartz sand can help make mixtures more permeable and structurally more mineral. It is best to mix the sand in gradually until the structure and appearance are suitable.
Is the sand also suitable as a sole substrate?
Yes. SOILICO SandBase QUARTZ can be used as a standalone sand zone or as the complete substrate in dry terrarium setups. The fine, uniform grain size gives the surface a clean and calm appearance.
How should the bag be stored?
The bag is resealable, making it ideal for clean portioning. Store dry and close after use – this keeps SOILICO SandBase QUARTZ tidy and ready for use at any time.
