VISUALLY STRIKING BASALT SUBSTRATE FOR DISCERNING AQUARISTS - CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

The substrate in your aquarium plays a crucial role in the overall ecosystem, influencing both the aquatic life and plant growth. It alters the chemical and biological characteristics of the water, supports flora development, and maintains an optimal biochemical balance throughout the tank. Unfortunately, many aquarists overlook the importance of substrate, often focusing solely on its visual appeal. Substrates with numerous granules featuring a porous structure can provide a habitat for beneficial bacteria, whereas those with sharp-edged stones can harm bottom-dwelling creatures. Moreover, a substrate lacking minerals can stunt plant growth, potentially leading to their demise even with a strong root system. For instance, marble substrates can significantly alter biochemical balance due to their high calcium content, making them unsuitable for planted tanks.

For many, the aquarium substrate is mainly an aesthetic feature designed to enhance the visual appeal of the tank. Our online store offers a wide variety of substrate types, each differing in tone, color, granulation, and the shapes of individual stones.

The standout quality of the Aquael basalt substrate is its neutral impact on the tank's biochemical balance. This attribute makes it highly sought after. Basalt gravel is versatile and can be utilized in almost any freshwater aquarium, making it a favorite among both novice hobbyists and seasoned exhibitors. Typically, basalt has sharp edges that could injure bottom-dwelling fish, but the basalt substrate available in our online store is completely safe, featuring smoothed and rounded edges.

The right substrate is vital for maintaining biochemical balance since most substrates, including basalt, are sterile and lack essential minerals. To address these deficiencies, special substrates can be layered beneath the visible basalt layer, preventing them from dispersing into the water while ensuring proper root growth and plant fertilization. These substrates enhance the quality of aquatic flora and their living conditions, and may also inhibit the growth of detrimental bacteria in the aquarium.

One of the key attributes of Aquael's basalt substrate is its unique style, highly regarded by many aquarists. Its deep, richly saturated black color beautifully emphasizes the vibrant hues of your fish and aquatic life, making them appear healthier and well-cared for. Many consider it the best option available, thanks to its ability to maintain water's biochemical balance while offering a luxurious look.
