WIO | River Kit - Black Allure (Prev. Ibon)

Mirror the stark elegance of a glacier-fed stream with the Black Allure River Kit—where light sands meet jet-black boulders for a high-contrast, mountain-born aquascape.

Black Allure Riverbed takes its cue from the icy torrents and rugged riverbanks of the Pyrenees. A pristine blend of pale Heaven Sand, dark gravels, and smooth pebbles forms a striking substrate that channels crystal-clear waters over obsidian-like stones. Each element—light sand grains dancing under water, shadowy gravels tracing the flow—crafts an interplay of light and dark that adds dynamic depth to your aquatic scene.

Anchoring this luminous riverbed, the Black Venom Boulder Kit supplies bold, charcoal-black stones with polished surfaces and organic shapes, evoking hefty glacial erratics smoothed by centuries of rushing currents. Their commanding presence defines focal points and frames your water’s path, while the nutrient-rich Dark Thick Artist Florabed weaves in dark, grey undertones and supports lush plant growth.

Non-toxic and inert (aside from slight hardness effects from the boulders), every component is pre-washed and ready to lay down. Whether you’re sculpting gentle slopes or carving deep channels, Black Allure gives you the tools to reimagine a wild mountain stream in your own tank.
