WIO - Canyon Sand

Canyon Sand – Your Ready-to-Scape Natural Riverbed Substrate

Canyon Sand brings warm, sunlit canyon tones into your aquascape with its soft tan-orange coloration and fine natural grains that mimic riverbanks, creek edges, and desert floodplains. Each grain carries subtle earthy variation, forming a calm, organic foundation that feels authentically shaped by nature.

Its refined texture and mixed fine grains make Canyon Sand ideal for foregrounds, river paths, streambeds, and full-tank substrates. When wet, the sand deepens into a rich canyon hue that enhances plants, stones, and driftwood with grounded natural warmth. Pre-washed, pH-neutral, and safe for all aquatic and terrarium species, it provides a clean, stable, and realistic base for any nature-style layout.
