## Description

Fluval Bio-Stratum is infused with beneficial “bioactives” that will break down waste, kickstart the nitrogen cycle and rapidly reduce ammonia levels to help stabilize water conditions in new aquariums and keep established aquariums healthy. Acting as an additional source of biological filtration, Bio-Stratum’s smaller powder format granules are porous and non-compacting, which further promote beneficial biological activity and enhanced water quality.For more fish tank accessories, check out other Fluval products including aquarium filters, filter media, aquarium heaters, aquarium air pumps, aquarium lights, aquarium rocks, aquarium thermometers, and aquarium stands.

Review: Excelente - Excelente calidad
Review: Fantastic for plants!!! - I absolutely love this stuff for growing and rooting plants. It's nice and fine, allowing those fine baby roots to easily grow through the medium. It also has plenty of beneficial bacteria and food to help the plants get growing nicely. Easy to use too, just pour from the bag and give it a little rinse before use. It's a really small grain so you use a bit more compared to the other types of stratum. I really love the stuff!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good product
*by C***Y on 17 October 2025*

Good stuff, no clouding of water did not rinse, yet to test water as cycling. Added water slowly with cup in bottom of tank to minimise disrupting it, plants seem happy (they were browning when first purchased now green)
