Shirakura Red Bee Sand 4kg
Shirakura Red Bee Sand
Special Substrate for Red Bee Shrimp (CRS)
Shirakura Red Bee Sand – substrate (soil) was developed especially for breeding shrimp and has constantly been improved by Takayuki Shirakura in cooperation with its producer. The two, who have been friends for years, have made it their goal to achieve the best results possible for keeping and breeding shrimp.
This substrate, produced by special procedure and composed of different types of burnt soil, boasts the characteristic of permanently lowering water values, which are important for breeding. Among those values are the water hardness (KH) and the pH-value. For breeding, water hardness (KH) of 0-2 and a pH-value of less than 7 are desired in order to avoid the formation of ammonium. If the overall hardness (dGH) of these values is less than 5, it should be increased by adding Liquid Mineral Ca+, otherwise the shrimps may have problems with moulting.
Shirakura Red Bee Sand does not contain any fertilizer additives whatsoever and is therefore absolutely harmless for your shrimps. Having a highly porous structure offers a large surface area and promotes the growth of important microorganisms, which are particularly important for the development of baby shrimp. When using soil filters, Red Bee Sand offers optimum conditions for biological filtration and this in turn produces better water quality.

The substrate should not be rinsed before using it and you can immediately start setting up your aquarium.
