Pale Ethereal River Kit : 20 lb Kit

Details

Sizing: The 20 lb kit is ideally suited for aquariums up to 20 gallons, while the Mega kit is designed for tanks up to 40 gallons.

Color: A serene blend of ivory-white Heaven Sand and soft pale stone chips, creating a luminous, dawn-like foundation with gentle natural warmth.

Composition: 100% inert Heaven Sand combined with pale gravels and chips, inspired by misty, early-morning riverbanks.

Texture: Ultra-fine sand mixed with smooth and lightly angular chips for soft gradients, subtle detailing, and natural depth.

Size Mix: Substrates 0.04"–2" (0.1–5 cm) • Boulders 2"–6" (5–15 cm) — ideal for calm riverbeds, elegant paths, and refined focal structures.

Stone Features: White Adder Boulders featuring pristine chalk-white surfaces, gentle mineral veining, and organic silhouettes sculpted by flowing water.

Matching: Complements the White Adder series, Millennium Stone, light-tone hardscapes, and any pale, airy aquascape palette.

Results: Produces a serene, museum-quality aquascape or paludarium with soft light, refined textures, and a tranquil visual flow.

Ready to Use: 100% natural and pre-washed — minimal rinsing required before placement.

Safety: Non-toxic. Inert sand remains fully stable; pale chips and White Adder Boulders may gently raise pH and kH.

Worry-Free: pH-stable, ammonia-free, and fully compatible with CO₂-injected or low-tech aquariums.

Versatile: Ideal for aquariums, paludariums, and biotopes; can be used alone or blended with other WIO substrates for custom river systems.

Packing: Available in 20 lb (9 kg) and 42 lb (19 kg) kits.

Picture standing on the edge of a quiet river just as the sun breaks the horizon. The water is pale, still, and glowing. That’s the feeling the Pale Ethereal Riverbed brings into your aquarium. Soft, light sands blend naturally with subtle gravels and pale river stone to create that clean, open river look you only see in untouched shallows. When the lights come on, everything feels brighter, calmer, more alive.

The White Adder boulders give the scape its structure — smooth, chalk-white stones shaped by water and time. They don’t shout for attention, they guide the eye. Fish glide past them, plants frame them, and suddenly the tank feels like a real stretch of river rather than a glass box.

Beneath it all, the Mustard Thick Florabed warms the scene and feeds the layout quietly from below. Plants root fast, stay compact, and grow with purpose. The water stays clear, the balance stays stable, and over time the scape settles into something that feels effortless and natural. The White Adder stone adds a gentle lift in hardness, perfect for clear-water river biotopes that thrive in clean, mineral-rich conditions.

This isn’t just a layout — it’s a region, recreated. A calm, pale river system where everything belongs exactly where it is.

One Universal River Kit. Infinite Aquascapes.

Every WIO River Kit is built as a true foundation — not tied to one country, one style, or one rule set. It lets you build a South American stream, a European river edge, or a completely imagined landscape with the same base system. Change the plants, shift the stone, adjust the flow — the scene becomes something entirely new.

Wild biotope or refined display.
Quiet river or dramatic flow.
The system stays simple. The result always looks intentional.
That’s the WIO difference.

One Universal River Kit. Infinite Aquascapes.
Your WIO River Kit is a foundation of aquatic artistry, designed as a versatile universal base inspired by rivers, lakes, and streams around the world. Whether you envision a serene biotope or an elegant, minimalist composition, this system adapts to your creativity with effortless flexibility.

Dream aquascapes or wild biotopes — simple, balanced, and uniquely WIO.
