Perfect hold for plant roots: substrate for freshwater and saltwater aquariums and terrariums.

The substrate is an important part of the aquarium components because a lot of animals dig in the ground to search for food. The plants also need a safe hold and have to absorb the food in the ground through their roots. Digging fish absolutely need a substrate which is not sharp-edged. Under gravel heating can only be recommended for medium-fine to coarse substrates because water circulation cannot really build up in very fine substrates.

Product Features:

Vigorous plant growth: prevents the seeping in of sludge and other waste material with it's fine granulation and density
Ideal for fish, invertebrates and plants: no unwanted pollutants released into the water. Fine, round-shaped granite sand is gentle on sensitive barbels of bottom-dwellers
Use: spread substrate on top of the nutrient substrate (approx. 6-8 cm for vigorous plant growth)
Not really suitable for under gravel heating cables.

How to use:

Rinse the substrate with tap water to remove any abrasion caused in transit
Put substrate on the nutrient substrate (JBL AquaBasis) to promote the plant growth (for vigorous growth about 6-8 cm).
