How to use the product
Aquarium Soil is a complete substrate that can be used without any other type of bottom layer. Its volcanic mineral structure provides favourable conditions for plant root establishment and makes planting easy. It consists of naturally occurring volcanic minerals, which give the substrate its characteristic structure and properties.

Aquarium Soil is also a substrate that lowers pH and slightly affects water chemistry. Therefore, we recommend changing 25–50% of the water at least twice a week during the first 4 weeks after setting up 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. TIP!: 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.
