JBL ProScape - PlantSoil BROWN 3l - Nutrient substrate for aquatic plants

The art of gardening underwater
Aquascaping refers to the technique of landscaping in aquariums. It can be very original compositions of plants, reproductions of an earthly landscape or natural biotopes. An aquascaping aquarium contains few fish and invertebrates or none at all. The supply of nutrients for the plants is therefore less important and their growth is limited. Nitrogen, phosphorus and other minerals become scarce commodities and targeted refertilization becomes necessary. For healthy growth in a beautiful underwater landscape, plants need adequate light, CO2 and nutrients.

Rich in minerals
ProScape Soils are substrates specially adapted to the needs of aquascapers. The substrates are not inert to water, on the contrary they have a softening effect. They make the water less hard and acidify it a little so that the pH goes to a slightly acidic range. JBL Plant-Soils are very nutrient-dense to immediately supply plants with nutrients and minerals, while ShrimpsSoils are lower in nutrients.

Use
Briefly rinse the substrate with tap water to remove transport abrasion. To prevent mineral buildup in the water, change 50% of the water every 2-3 days for the first two weeks after filling. Since the influence on the water parameters is a function of the initial water and the intervals between water changes, the softening effect decreases over time.

Calculation formula for the right amount of substrate: length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm): 1000 = liters of JBL ProScape Plant Soil.
