Shrimp King - Active Soil - 8 l

Product description

Shrimp King Active Soil is an active bottom substrate specially developed for shrimp aquariums. It helps to create stable and natural water conditions and is especially suitable for Caridina shrimp such as Crystal Red, Crystal Black and Taiwan Bee.

The active soil helps lower and stabilize the pH and create softer water conditions that many Caridina shrimp thrive in. The porous structure also offers plenty of surface area for beneficial bacteria and biofilm to establish themselves.

The dark color gives the aquarium a natural look and creates a nice contrast that highlights both shrimp and plants.

Contents: 8 litres
Grain size: approx. 1–4 mm
Especially suitable for: Caridina shrimp and planted shrimp aquariums

FAQ about Shrimp King - Active Soil - 8 l

What does Shrimp King - Active Soil - 8 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 Shrimp King - Active Soil - 8 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.
