TROPICA - Substrate - 5l - Nutrient soil for planted aquariums

The substrate acts as a long-acting nutrient repository and ensures your aquatic plants grow vigorously and healthily. SUBSTRATE is a natural concentrate of clay and sphagnum moss to be used with gravel in the substrate when setting up the aquarium. Clay and sphagnum moss slowly provide nutrients to the plant roots while absorbing nutrients from the water into the substrate. This reduction in the amount of nutrients in the water reduces the risk of unwanted algae growth.

• A concentrate used under the gravel during aquarium setup
• Ensures healthy and sustainable plant growth
• Neutrality therefore does not influence the kH and pH of the water
• The substrate stores nutrients and makes them available to the roots

How to use the product

When setting up the aquarium, place a 1 cm layer of SUBSTRATE on the bottom. The table shows the dimensions of various standard aquariums and the recommended amounts of SUBSTRATE.

Then cover the substrate with at least 3-4 cm of gravel. This serves as a barrier between the concentrated SUBSTRATE and the water. When transplanting, position the plants as usual in the gravel. They will soon produce new roots in the substrate. When transplanting, avoid stirring the substrate as much as possible to prevent clay and sphagnum particles from mixing with the water.
