Plants when arrived were well packed and fresh. They are now all planted and look amazing in the Habistax. Couldn’t be happier with the service and plants from Aqua Essentials. Certainly will use them again.

Question please - would this survive my verious curious turtle?

Hi there,
I have a 300 L with a 5 inch turtle, and wonder if she would destroy it?

It's only been two weeks since planting the tank so cannot tell if the substrate has had an effect on growth. However, the moneywort I have planted does seem to be appreciating the substrate! One note: I thought I could get away with having a few mm of water in my tank, but that was a big no-no. Make sure that the tank is bone-dry before adding the substrate else your tank will be filled with little bits of organic matter.

Have only just used this product in a new tank, bit Tropica has a very good reputation and lovely plants so am very hopeful that the new tank will be a success. The substrate was very easy to use, and, once covered with a good deep layer of gravel, did not cloud the water after a couple of days settling in. Onwards & upwards!!

I have only gravel in my aquarium so I am see this substrate in small pots, gravel first then a teaspoon or two put the plant in with a root tab and more gravel, so far so good.

You get a set of 10 aquarium plants chosen specifically for 1 Habistax, plus 1L of Tropica substrate for planting and nutrition and 3.5kg of gravel to cap it.

Do I need to buy anything separately for my Habistax?

No, this bundle is designed to cover everything you need to plant one Habistax straight away, so there's nothing extra to source.

Are the plants suitable for beginners?
