Product highlights at a glance:

• Active water conditioning: Helps create soft, slightly acidic water suited to tropical softwater aquariums.
• Adsorptive properties: Binds substances that cause discolouration and cloudiness, helping keep the water clear.
• Nutrient storage: Absorbs excess nutrients and releases them for uptake by plant roots when needed.
• Support for plant roots: The rounded granules allow water to circulate through the substrate and are suitable for digging aquarium inhabitants.

Directions for use:

Briefly rinse the substrate with tap water before use to remove dust caused by abrasion during transport. Add it directly to the aquarium and arrange your layout. It can also be used with substrate heating systems and base layers such as volcanic powder.

In detail:

A suitable substrate provides the foundation for a detailed planted aquascape. Proscape Mount Aso Soil by JBL is made from Japanese volcanic soil and has an open structure that allows water and nutrients to reach plant roots. It also provides a surface for beneficial bacteria to colonise, with access to oxygenated water.

The brown substrate's adsorptive properties support filtration and help maintain clear water. It also gently reduces water hardness, helping create conditions suited to many softwater fish, invertebrates and aquatic plants.
