## Description

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 layerThe grain size of 2-3 mm makes it easy for plantingAquarium Soil ensures proper growth and stimulates red coloursHow 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 Safety Warning Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not inhale dust. Use in a well-ventilated area. Do not mix with other chemicals. Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. May affect water quality if not used as directed. Regularly test water parameters and perform water changes as recommended.

Review: Great Aquarium Soil - I'm not sure what the one star review people are doing or thinking. Of course it can go cloudy / dirty when you're flooding the tank. It takes time to settle and a good filter goes a long way. I've used this on three tanks so far, and I'm finding myself trimming the plants constantly to keep up with them. I have excellent water quality and healthy fish. Who would have known that water to soil would make the water cloudy for a while!? Expensive but it's good, just keep an eye out for ammonia when first setting up, and make sure you keep up with your water changes.
Review: Expensive but great product - Such a great soil for planting aquariums. Plants respond well to it. Just look around for the best price.
