About this product

This volcanic soil promotes robust plant development by allowing easy root penetration and consistent nutrient uptake. Its highly porous surface provides a massive surface area for beneficial nitrifying bacteria to colonize, which helps stabilize the nitrogen cycle and maintain a healthy environment for your tank inhabitants.

Beyond plant care, this stratum is excellent for shrimp keepers, providing essential hiding spots for newborns. It effectively buffers pH levels to a neutral or slightly acidic range, which is ideal for sensitive species, while simultaneously keeping your aquarium water clear by managing organic discoloration.
