Description
Ideal substrate for planted aquariums and shrimp nano-aquariums Humate derived soil
Lowers pH and softens water
Aquasolum is a lightweight, porous substrate derived from humate. Humate contains most of the known trace elements necessary for the development of plant life because, in its original state, it was plant life. Organic humate enhances root development and promotes chelation, a process by which insoluble matter is gradually processed for plant utilization. As a result, humate contains valuable plant nutritional substances not found in chemical fertilizers. Additionally, its tendency to lower pH and soften water makes it ideal for keeping freshwater shrimp.
Sizes: 4.4 lbs | 2 kg, 8.8 lbs | 4 kg
Directions:
Although it is pre-washed, it may become dusty in transit and require rinsing before use to remove any residual dust. To determine the number of bags required for your aquarium, please note that each bag (4.4 lbs | 2 kg, 8.8 lbs | 4 kg) occupies a volume of approximately 1,630 cm3 (100 cu. in.). To determine your desired volume multiply tank width by length by desired depth.
TIPS: When adding water to the aquarium, fill slowly to avoid disturbing the Aquasolum bed. Place a bowl in the aquarium and add water directly to the bowl, allowing water to overflow softly on to the substrate bed. Initial cloudiness is normal. To remove cloudiness, use mechanical filtration (such as filter floss). Use Seachem Clarity to accelerate clearing.
