JBL Manado Aquarium Plant Substrate
The JBL Manado Natural Substrate is an optimal choice for successful plant care in freshwater aquariums. This natural substrate activates the soil flora, creating a perfect environment for aquarium plants to thrive. Its nutrient buffer functions with a battery effect, releasing essential nutrients until depleted and can be effortlessly reloaded through new fertilisation. The round-shaped granules ensure no unwanted pollutants are released, making it safe for a diverse range of aquatic life including fish and invertebrates. Additionally, this substrate supports vigorous plant growth and prevents algae by promoting beneficial soil bacteria settlement and ideal root growth through its natural pore structure.
Prior to use, a brief rinse with lukewarm tap water is recommended to remove any abrasion caused during transit. JBL Manado acts as an excellent substrate, enhancing root development and lending support to the aquarium's filtering system, ensuring crystal-clear water.
Key Features:
- Nutrient buffer with battery effect, water-neutral for freshwater aquariums.
- Encourages effective soil bacteria settlement, boosting plant growth.
- Round-shaped granules gentle on bottom-dwellers' barbels.
- High nutrient storage capacity, absorbing and releasing nutrients as needed.
This substrate is ideal for any aquarist looking to provide optimal care for their aquatic plants and keep their aquarium thriving. Its high storage capacity means surplus nutrients are absorbed and only released when necessary, maintaining a balanced environment.
Specifications:
- Suitable for freshwater aquariums.
- Available in various sizes.
- Calculation formula for substrate amount: length (cm) x width (cm) : 200 = litres substrate with 5 cm thickness.
