Its natural granulate lowers pH and KH, enhancing nutrient uptake and promoting vigorous growth while intensifying red plant coloration.

## Description

Product Description Aquarium Soil is a Japanese natural volcanic granulate material. Aquarium Soil naturally reduces your KH and pH value and enhances the ability of the plants to absorb nutrients. Aquarium Soil ensures good and active growth from the beginning and boosts the red plant shades and is a complete substrate, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer. Aquarium Soil is further an active bottom layer that lowers the pH value and slightly affects the water chemistry. We recommend that you change 25-50 percent of the water minimum twice a week during the first 4 weeks after establishing the aquarium. Available in 3 litre. Box Contains 1 x Tropica Plant Growth Aquarium Planted Fish Tank Health Soil Substrate 3 Litre

Review: Aquarium Planting made easy - Ill be honest. Its my first time attempting to actually keep aquatic plants alive for longer than a couple of weeks and i fell down such a big rabbit hole i didn't know where to start. I started here because this substrate didn't require anything else to be done, you chuck it in and you're good to go. I took careful measure to fill the water using the cup method to prevent creating a giant dust cloud or turning my water brown, and it seemed to do the trick. i was left with a little dust and some brown colouration but i just did a small water change and it fixed the issue. This substrate is a little more on the expensive side and i found that as long as you don't mind a little extra work, the fluval aquatic soil is cheaper and basically the same thing, however you do need to rinse the fluval one and you need to do so with extreme care otherwise you will get brown soup. Overall this is not bad at all if you can afford it and want the convenience.
Review: Good product from Tropica - Good quality from the brand.
