JBL Manado, 25L

The JBL Manado is a natural ground substrate for freshwater aquariums and due to its porous structure, it is the perfect plant care product.

This natural ground for freshwater aquariums is ideal for plant care due to its porous structure and nutrient storage function. It enables vital plant growth and prevents algae. Useful and effective cleaning bacteria colonise the soil and ensure optimal root growth of the plants through the natural pore structure. The filter is thus relieved and ensures crystal clear water. JBL Manado is excellent for the care of fish and invertebrates, as no unwanted pollutants are released into the water. The rounded granule grains protect the sensitive barbels of bottom-dwelling fish, such. Corydoras and others. The natural ground absorbs excess nutrients and releases them when needed.

JBL Manado is a natural product and may contain varying amounts of calcium. Before use, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse JBL Manado with warm tap water to remove transport-related abrasion and calcium residue. When filling with water, care should be taken not to stir up the floor. Due to the porous structure, individual grains can float. These can be easily removed with a safety net.

Tip

We recommend that you consider the possibility of a heating cable before installing the substrate because subsequent installation requires the complete aquarium to be cleared out.
