Product More Details  VISUALLY STRIKING BASALT SUBSTRATE FOR DISCERNING USERS - CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES The aquarium substrate plays a crucial role in various life processes within the tank, impacting both the animals and plants residing there. It alters the chemical and biological parameters of the water, influences the growth of flora, and maintains an optimal biochemical equilibrium throughout the entire aquarium. Regrettably, not all aquarists pay adequate attention to the substrate and often select it based solely on its visual appeal. Substrates with numerous granules featuring a porous structure can provide a suitable habitat for certain bacteria, while those with sharp-edged stones can injure bottom-dwelling creatures. Conversely, a substrate lacking sufficient minerals can adversely affect plant growth, potentially leading to their demise despite robust roots. For instance, marble substrate significantly influences the biochemical balance due to its composition, which is rich in calcium compounds, making it unsuitable for planted aquariums. For many, the aquarium substrate primarily serves as a stylistic element designed to enhance the aquarium's aesthetics. Our online store offers a wide variety of substrates, each differing in tone and color, as well as granulation and the shapes of individual stones. A key attribute of Aquael's basalt substrate is its lack of impact on the biochemical balance within the aquarium. This quality contributes significantly to its popularity. Basalt gravel is versatile enough to be used in nearly any freshwater aquarium, appealing to both novice hobbyists and professional exhibitors. Generally, basalt has somewhat sharp edges, which might harm bottom-dwelling fish. However, the basalt substrate available in our online store is entirely safe due to its processed and rounded edges. The proper substrate is vital for maintaining biochemical balance, as virtually all substrates, including basalt, are sterile and lack most essential minerals. To address these deficiencies, substrates are placed directly beneath the visible basalt layer. This method prevents their migration into the water while ensuring proper rooting and fertilization of plants. These substrates effectively enhance the quality of aquarium flora and its living conditions, and can, in some cases, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria present in aquarium environments. One of the standout features of the basalt substrate from Aquael is its unmatched style, highly appreciated by most aquarists. This substrate is defined by its rich, deeply saturated black hue, which beautifully showcases the vibrant colors of vividly colored fish and other aquatic life. It accentuates their distinctive appearances, making them appear healthier and more robust. Many consider basalt substrate to be the finest on the market due to its perfect blend of neutrality in biochemical balance and its strikingly luxurious aesthetic. We invite you to purchase Aquael's basalt aquarium substrate. It is entirely safe and clean, making it an excellent addition to most well-maintained freshwater aquariums.
