ADA KUMU Ivory Sand
250 ml – 0.85–2 mm
The ADA KUMU Ivory Sand is a premium decorative substrate from the KUMU Layout Materials range, ideal for planted aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums. Its soft ivory colour creates a clean, natural foundation that beautifully highlights the vibrant greens of aquatic plants and contrasts with darker hardscape elements. The 0.85–2 mm grain size offers a slightly coarser texture that works perfectly for establishing foregrounds, creating smooth substrate transitions, and building natural scene depth.
This sand integrates seamlessly with mosses, fin‑leaf plants, and larger hardscape pieces, giving layouts a balanced and refined appearance. It also combines well with the finer Ivory Sand S for detailed textural variation and enhanced visual interest.
Water Parameters
Like many natural sands, Ivory Sand can contribute to total hardness (GH) and may have a moderate influence on pH. Regular water changes help maintain stable conditions, allowing you to enjoy its aesthetic benefits without compromising water quality in your planted aquarium or semi‑aquatic setup.
Versatile by Design
Beyond aquariums, ADA KUMU Ivory Sand enhances paludarium and terrarium layouts with its neutral, elegant tone. Whether used for bright foregrounds, smooth transitions, or as part of mixed substrate gradients, this sand delivers a harmonious foundation for nature‑inspired compositions.
