Unipac Reptile Calcium Sand is a natural, partially pure calcium sand that is suitable for all reptile terrariums. Adding the calcium sand into your terrarium will encourage natural burrowing and create an environment that replicates the wild.
Directions For use:
With sand the depth should not generally exceed 4cm. Reduce the depth if using heat mats. Remove soiled sand regularly. Complete replacement of sand every six months is recommended.
How much gravel do i need in my tank?
As a very rough guide for every 1ft length of Aquarium approx 10Kg of sand or gravel is required. This will give approx depth of 1.5" or 40mm
The calculation is as follows
Length x Width divided by 10. This then give the weight required in Lbs. To convert this to KG just divide the answer by 2.2
For example on a 4ft x 1.5ft long tank
48(inches) x 18(inches) = 864 divided by 10 = 86.4(lbs) divide again by 2.2 = 39.27KG
