This AQUAEL product serves as a premium bottom substrate designed for freshwater aquariums, particularly those featuring natural aesthetics, lush plant life, and shrimp inhabitants. Visually, the Soil is akin to black gravel with an average granule size of 2.5 mm. Made from natural, thoughtfully selected materials, it optimizes water parameters essential for the health of various freshwater ornamental fish, plants, and crustaceans. The positive impact on the entire ecosystem becomes evident quickly: clearer water, thriving plants, and more energetic aquatic life!  How does it correct water parameters? Advanced Soil Plant is packed with natural nutrients that gradually release into the water* and positively influence key aquarium water characteristics for aquatic species: it helps lower or stabilize pH and KH (carbonate hardness) levels. As a result, plants experience enhanced growth and display a more vibrant appearance. Thanks to this Soil, fish can even be introduced on the very first day of setting up the aquarium. Moreover, this Soil enhances biological filtration within the aquarium due to its porous nature, making it an ideal environment for beneficial nitrifying bacteria to flourish. The granules also trap nitrogen compounds, thereby aiding in the preservation of a healthy ecosystem. Consequently, water quality improves, resulting in visibly crystal-clear water. The dark substrate not only functions well but also offers aesthetic benefits: its deep color makes ornamental fish, vibrant shrimps, and lush green or reddish plants stand out beautifully; colorful decorations also create striking contrasts. *The Soil continuously releases nutrients over time, ensuring long-lasting effectiveness and allowing for sustainable use without the need for frequent changes or additional nutrient supplements.

100% pure sea sand. Helps to sustain optimal pH levels and marine chemical equilibrium.

Aqua Ocean Natural Coral Sand is sourced from a pristine island in the South China Sea, ensuring it is free from phosphates, nitrates, and surface impurities, making it clean and eco-friendly. This coral sand primarily consists of calcium carbonate, which helps maintain a stable pH level in seawater. Its natural porous structure makes it an excellent choice for bottom sand filtration in aquarium tanks due to its large surface area; it can effectively mimic riverbeds and seashores while also promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria. Features & Benefits: Offers a natural sand bed that boosts nitrification and denitrification processes supported by beneficial bacteria and other microbes in the sand bed. Aids in achieving a natural biological equilibrium in aquariums. Enhances buffering capacity, reducing any fluctuations in pH. 100% Coral Sand Suitable for: Marine and Rift Lake Cichlids
