Tropica Aquarium Soil is a high-quality substrate designed to promote healthy and vibrant plant growth in freshwater aquariums. The 9-liter bag is suitable for medium to large tanks and offers several benefits for aquatic plants.
Key Features:
Complete Substrate: Serves as a standalone bottom layer, eliminating the need for additional substrates.
Optimal Grain Size: With particles measuring 2-3 mm, it facilitates easy planting and root development.
Nutrient-Rich Composition: Provides essential nutrients to support robust plant growth and enhance red coloration in plants.
pH Regulation: Acts as an active substrate that can lower pH values and slightly influence water chemistry, creating a favorable environment for aquatic life.
Usage Guidelines:
Application: Evenly spread the soil at the bottom of the aquarium to the desired depth, typically around 5-7 cm, depending on plant requirements.
Water Filling: To prevent disturbance of the soil, fill the aquarium with water gently, possibly by placing a plate on the substrate and pouring water onto it.
Planting: Introduce aquatic plants into the soil, ensuring their roots are adequately covered.
Water Changes: During the initial setup phase, it's recommended to change 25-50% of the water at least twice a week for the first four weeks to maintain optimal water quality.
Incorporating Tropica Aquarium Soil into your aquarium setup can significantly enhance plant health and overall aesthetics, providing a thriving environment for your aquatic plants.
