Aqua Substrate II+ is an improved new generation product , designed specifically for harder water, most common in Europe (stronger pH buffer correction). Additionally, thanks to innovative technology, it ensures 25% longer operation and plant nutrition. The product is available in black and dark brown and is packed in 5.4 kg bags. The 5.4 kg Aqua Substrate II+ bag contains an amount of substrate suitable for an aquarium with a capacity of approximately 40 liters. In a newly established aquarium, cover the bottom surface with approximately 5-6 cm of Aqua Substrate II+.
The unique AquaSubstrate technology ensures water clarification by absorbing its turbidity and discoloration. AquaSubstrate reduces water hardness and corrects the pH buffer, setting its value in the ideal range for plants and animals from tropical soft water biotopes, approximately 6.5-7.0.
The main features of AquaSubstrate II+ are:
Long-term fertilization : AquaSubstrate contains a slow-release fertilizer for plants with a long-lasting effect.
Water clarification : AquaSubstrate restores water transparency, removes colors and cloudiness caused by, for example, wooden decorative elements inside the aquarium.
Stabilizes water pH : AquaSubstrate softens water to levels appropriate for the natural habitats of most plants and fish cultivated in our aquariums. Stabilizes the pH buffer.
Health for roots : AquaSubstrate's porous structure guarantees the development of natural bacterial flora and is perfect for healthy growth and nutrition of plant roots.
The natural appearance of AquaSubstrate fits perfectly into the arrangement of planted aquariums.
The best results in plant care are achieved by fertilizing them simultaneously with a series of Planta Gainer liquid fertilizers.
