AquaForest Natural Substrate 10 L

AquaForest Natural Substrate 10 L

AquaForest Natural Substrate 10 L is a nutrient rich, peat and clay based substrate base for aquascape and planted aquariums. Readily available micro-nutrients and plant food within it create a fertile, nature-like environment, ideal for long-time plant support and growth. AquaForest Natural Substrate 10 L is well suited for the development of a healthy root system, and to help aquatic plants thrive.

Key Features:

• The carefully selected peat creates excellent conditions for the root system, and supplies plants with all the necessary minerals and trace elements
• Clay improves the texture, and acts as the base, achieving excellent consistency
• Peat – clay acts as a natural layer for storing excess nutrients, and maintaining biological balance in the tank

Cautions:

• AquaForest Natural Substrate 10 L is rich in micro-nutrients, so for the first three months Aquaforest do not recommend the use of fertilizers containing micro-nutrients, unless the plants show visible signs of deficiency
• 10L of AF Natural Substrate should be sufficient for a 200L aquarium with a 100 cm x 40 cm bottom. Substrate can lower and stabilize the pH of the water, therefore it is recommended to use a dedicated test or probe

How To Use:

• Install heater cable if used
• Spread the substrate on the bottom of the tank and compact it to achieve approx. 2-2.5 cm thick layer
• Cover with about 3cm of gravel or sand
• Gently fill aquarium with about 15 cm of water. In order to avoid disturbing the substrate, we suggest placing a plate or dish on the bottom, and directing the stream of water on to it
• Place the plants in the substrate
• Gently fill the aquarium with water
