Make the layer thicker towards the back wall for a great visual effect! The calculation to do is length x width x layer divided by 1000. In our example, 90 x 60 x 8/1000 = 43.2 L Soil/Soil Powder needed.

FAQ about Aquarium Soil Powder 9 L

What does Aquarium Soil Powder 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 Powder 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.
