Product description

Product overview

Aquarium Soil is used to plan a new aquarium. It is a complete base layer, which can be used without any other types of base layer - see how to use it here.

Aquarium Soil is a complete bottom layer, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer The grain size of 2-3 mm makes it easy to plant Aquarium Soil ensures correct growth and stimulates red colors How to use the product Aquarium Soil ensures good and active growth from the beginning and enhances the red plant shades.

It is a complete substrate, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer. Aquarium Soil is also an active bottom layer that lowers the pH value and affects the water chemistry somewhat. We recommend that you change 25-50% of the water min. twice a week during the first 4 weeks after establishing the aquarium.

How do I calculate the amount of soil or soil powder needed for my tank? Measure the length and width of your tank in cm, for example 90 x 60 cm. Consider the thickness of the bottom layer you want, e.g. 8 cm. Make the layer thicker towards the back wall for a great visual effect!

The calculation to do is length x width x layers divided by 1000. In our example, 90 x 60 x 8/1000 = 43.2 L of soil/soil powder is needed.

FAQ about Aquarium Soil 9 L

What does Aquarium Soil 9 L do in the aquarium?

Active soil gives plant roots a porous substrate and may affect pH and hardness. Its effect varies with source water, so test values during cycling.

Should Aquarium Soil 9 L be rinsed before use?

Active soil should normally not be rinsed because the granules may break down. Add it gently and fill the aquarium slowly according to the product directions.

Can animals be added immediately?

No, allow the aquarium to cycle fully and monitor ammonia, nitrite and other values before adding shrimp or fish. New active substrates may strongly affect water at first.

How long does the active effect last?

Lifespan depends on source water, maintenance and load. Monitor pH and hardness over time; the substrate may need supplementing or replacement when its effect declines.
