How to use the product

Aquarium Soil ensures good and active growth from the beginning, and boosts the red plant shades.

It 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% of the water min. twice a week during the first 4 weeks after establishing the aquarium.

How do I calculate the quantity of Soil or Soil Powder needed for my tank?

  • Measure your tank’s length and width in cm, for example 90 x 60 cm.
  • Consider the thickness of the bottom layer you want, e.g. 8 cm.
    Make the layer thicker towards the rear wall for a great visual effect!
  • The calculation to do is length x width x layer divided by 1000.

In our example, 90 x 60 x 8/1000 = 43,2 L Soil/Soil Powder needed.

Madison S. ★★★★★

My cherry shrimp started breeding within a week of planting, and the soil maintains stable parameters without needing a separate base layer. The dark granules hide mulm well, keeping the tank looking clean for much longer.

Isabella G. ★★★★★

Setting up my new tank was so easy since this is a complete bottom layer that didn't need anything mixed in underneath. The dark grains look natural and the plants are gripping them well.

Abigail ★★★★★

The grain size is perfect for my betta's delicate fins, and it made planting the stems so much easier. My water stayed crystal clear after just one rinse, which I was really nervous about. Overall, a solid base layer that delivered exactly what it promised.
