ADA La Plata Sand
Bright white natural sand for clean, decorative effect — with zero impact on water chemistry
Product Overview
ADA La Plata Sand is a fine, natural white sand designed for aesthetic enhancement (“cosmetic sand”) in planted aquariums and aquascapes. It enhances visual contrast, highlights plants or hardscape, and helps create the “riverbed” look — without altering the underlying water chemistry.
Because it’s chemically inert, La Plata Sand does not affect pH, hardness, or other water parameters — making it safe to use even in delicate biotope or softwater setups.
Key Features & Benefits
Bright white colouring
The light tone helps brighten and showcase plant colors, driftwood, and stones, especially under strong lighting.
Fine, natural grain (< ~3 mm)
The grain size is kept moderate to fine (less than about 3 mm), giving a smooth, natural texture under water.
Chemically inert & safe
No leaching or buffering effects — safe for sensitive fish, shrimp, and plants.
Cosmetic / decorative use
Ideal for top layers, carpeting foregrounds, Wabi-Kusa base, or creating a contrast over darker soils without disturbing them.
