WIO Ibon River Bed 5kg

Inspired by the pristine ibons-glacial lakes nestled in the Pyrenees of Spain and France-Ibon Riverbed captures the essence of alpine streams with its striking mix of light sands, dark gravels, and smooth mountain pebbles. This naturally balanced composition brings a crisp, moody ambiance to your aquarium or terrarium, perfect for aquascapers seeking contrast, clarity, and character.

Ibon Riverbed reflects the rugged yet serene landscapes of high-altitude mountain rivers, where water sculpts stone into smooth, cool forms and deposits layers of sand and gravel along stream beds. The interplay of light-toned sands with dark pebbles and gravels creates a bold visual contrast that amplifies plant greenery and highlights aquatic life-while evoking the mysterious stillness of alpine water.

Crafted from 100% natural and non-toxic materials, this substrate is as safe as it is beautiful. Though it may slightly influence water hardness, it remains easy to manipulate and shape-making it suitable for hobbyists of all experience levels.

Whether you're recreating a Pyrenean biotope or simply looking to introduce contrast and depth to your layout, Ibon Riverbed provides a ready-made canvas for stunning scapes.
