Tropica Substrate - Nutrient medium

• Concentrate that is applied under the gravel when setting up the aquarium
• Ensures healthy and sustained plant growth
• Is neutral and therefore has no influence on the KH or pH value of the water
• The substrate stores nutrients and releases them to the roots of the plants

When setting up the aquarium, the substrate is spread on the bottom of the aquarium in a 1 cm thick layer. The table shows the dimensions of some standard aquariums and the recommended amounts of substrate.

At least 3 - 4 cm of gravel is then applied to the substrate. The gravel acts as a barrier between the concentrated substrate and the water. When planting, the aquatic plants are placed in the gravel as usual, where they then quickly form new roots in the substrate. When planting, the substrate should be disturbed as little as possible to avoid mixing clay and peat particles with the water.
