JBL Proscape Mount Aso Soil, brown, 3 l

Create a foundation for a thriving planted aquascape with Proscape Mount Aso Soil by JBL. This active substrate helps establish the soft, slightly acidic water conditions favoured by many tropical aquarium species.

Product highlights at a glance:

• Active water conditioning: Helps create soft, slightly acidic water for tropical softwater setups.
• Clearer water: Adsorbs substances that cause discolouration and cloudiness.
• Nutrient storage: Absorbs excess nutrients and releases them for uptake by plant roots when needed.
• Support for plant roots: Rounded granules allow water to circulate through the substrate and accommodate digging aquarium inhabitants.

Directions for use:

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

In detail:

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

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