Pale Ethereal River Kit : 20 lb Kit

Details

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.

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

Safety: Non-toxic and safe for all aquatic life; inert sand maintains stability while stone chips and boulders may slightly raise pH and kH for moderate hardness.

Versatile: Ideal for aquariums and paludariums; use as a standalone foundation or blend with other WIO substrates for customized compositions.

Pale Ethereal River Kit – Your Ready-to-Use Premium River Kit

Pale Ethereal Riverbed brings soft tranquillity, luminous purity, and refined natural elegance to any aquascape. This delicate blend of ultra-pure Heaven Sand with pale stone chips and gravels recreates the serene charm of misty, dawn-lit riverbanks. Each subtly tinted grain reflects light with a gentle shimmer, forming a calm, radiant foundation that soothes the senses and enhances every ripple within the layout.

The kit is anchored by White Adder Boulders—chalk-white stones veined with faint mineral lines and sculpted softly by flowing water. These elegant boulders capture light from every angle, forming graceful focal points that elevate your aquascape into a serene, living work of art.

Paired with the Mustard Thick Artist Florabed, the kit introduces a soft, earthy warmth beneath the pale tones. This adds gentle contrast and supports healthy, vigorous plant growth. Naturally mineral-rich, the White Adder stones may slightly raise pH and kH, helping maintain moderate hardness and crystal-clear water ideal for stable, balanced aquascapes.

Pale Ethereal Riverbed evokes the purity and poise of nature’s earliest light—perfect for aquascapers seeking calm, refinement, and timeless beauty in every detail.
