JBL AquaBasis Plus Plant Nutrient Substrate

Give your live aquatic plants the foundation they need for lush, vibrant growth with JBL AquaBasis Plus. Formulated specifically for new freshwater tank setups, this nutrient-rich substrate acts as a long-term energy store, delivering essential plant nutrients—including iron—directly to the roots over a 5-year period.

Special clay components within the substrate absorb excess nutrients from the water and release them back to plant roots only as needed, preventing nutrient spikes that trigger unwanted algae blooms. Simple to install, just spread a layer of AquaBasis Plus on the bottom of your empty aquarium and cover it with a layer of washed gravel or sand.

Key Features:

  • 5-Year Growth: Delivers long-lasting plant nutrition for sustained, vibrant growth.
  • Smart Nutrient Storage: Clay components absorb and release nutrients as needed to prevent algae growth.
  • Iron-Rich Formula: Provides essential minerals and trace elements for strong root development.
  • Ideal for New Setups: Pre-mixed and ready to use underneath your primary gravel or sand substrate.
  • Package Contents: 1 pack of ready-to-use long-term plant nutrient substrate.

Joseph ★★★★★

Set this up in my 55-gallon planted tank and the grain size is perfect for stem plants to spread roots without floating away. Water stayed clear within an hour of filling, which was a nice surprise. My crypts and swords are already sending out new runners after just two weeks.

Owen ★★★★★

Roots have anchored into this substrate noticeably faster than my last setup, and the plants are showing new growth within the first week. The grain size is small enough for delicate stems but still heavy enough that it doesn't cloud the water when I'm planting.

Christopher L. ★★★★★

The granules have a nice texture that makes planting stem plants so much easier than with plain gravel. My Amazon sword is already sending out new leaves just a week after setting up the tank. Really happy with how clear the water stayed during the initial fill.
