Aquarium Soil is used for planning a new aquarium. It is a complete bottom layer, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer so no need to cap with gravel etc.

  • Aquarium Soil is a complete bottom layer, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer
  • The grain size of 2-3 mm makes it easy for planting
  • Aquarium Soil ensures proper growth and stimulates red colours

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

Can’t recommend this highly enough as a plant substrate. My dwarf hair grass (even pre CO2) loves it.

Bought on recommendation, was a bit worried about putting ‘soil’ in the tank. Put it in as per instructions, needn’t have worried. Plants were easy to put in with tweezers and the contrast with the dragon rocks and plants look amazing! Wish I’d binned the gravel a lot sooner, my tank looks amazing! Thank you for your recommendation and advice, it’s been very much appreciated!
