Key Features:
Granule size approx. 2–3 mm for easy planting.
Can be used alone as the bottom layer (no additional base required).
Active substrate which gently lowers pH and improves conditions for plants.
Available in several sizes, e.g., 3 L, 8 L, 9 L (depending on regional availability).
Usage Tips:
Determine required volume by: Tank length (cm) × Tank width (cm) × desired substrate depth (cm) ÷ 1000 = litres needed.
Lay substrate in a sloped manner—from shallow front to deeper rear—if desired, to enhance visual depth.
Because it affects water chemistry, perform regular water changes (especially during the first few weeks) to maintain stability
Ideal for both beginner and advanced planted setups, providing strong root support and vibrant plant growth.
