Wouldn't recommend wood shavings for the entire tank. Paper based substrate is better and the 85l bags of Kaytee clean and cozy expand a lot. Smaller bags work out more expensive. Available from Porton Aquatics.

Fitch is another popular choice which i haven't tried myself.

If you are set on woodshavings i believe the only suitable one is Allspan which they use on the continent and is made from spruce. Available online but works out expensive.

Chipsi classic comes in very large bags and is part spruce, available from Jolleys pet shop.

Aubiose (i think its called) from equastrian shops or online is another but quite coarse in my opinion.
