Details

Composition: A curated blend of inert white sand, natural dark gravel, and Black Venom clay-stone boulders supported by nutrient-rich Dark Thick Artist Florabed.

Size Mix: Substrate 0.04"–2" (0.1–5 cm); boulders 2"–6" (5–15 cm) for rich texture, scale variation, and natural flow.

Black Allure River Kit – Your Ready-to-Scape Mountain Stream Kit

Black Allure Riverbed brings the icy contrast and rugged beauty of Pyrenean mountain streams into your aquascape. A striking blend of pale Heaven Sand, deep dark gravels, and smooth river pebbles creates luminous flow, crisp contrast, and natural depth — a landscape sculpted by water, light, and time. The bright substrate glows beneath the surface while darker stones trace the natural rhythm of current and shadow.

The Black Venom Boulder Kit adds sculptural drama with charcoal-black, polished stones shaped by natural erosion. These bold focal points rise like glacial erratics, giving strength, weight, and clarity to your composition. Supported below by Dark Thick Artist Florabed, the layout gains stability, nutrient richness, and long-term plant vitality.

Every component is natural, inert, and pre-washed for easy use — with only minor hardness influence from the boulders for added authenticity. Sculpt river paths, build slopes, or layer contrasting tones to recreate the crisp elegance of a wild alpine stream.
