Collected from the mineral-rich foothills of the famous Mont Aso Volcano in Japan.
Fluval Bio Stratum is the ideal substrate for stimulating the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater aquariums. Infused with dormant BIOACTIVE Beneficial Bacteria, it activates upon contact with water to break down waste and kick-start the nitrogen cycle. This process rapidly reduces ammonia, helping to stabilize water conditions in new aquariums.
Plant roots easily penetrate and spread throughout the substrate, allowing plants to obtain a variety of key, readily available nutrients that will make them flourish. The non-compacting and lightweight 1-3mm granules allow the finest and most delicate roots to easily penetrate and spread throughout the porous substrate.
The addition of FLUVAL PLANT MICRO NUTRIENTS will ensure a full complement of essential macro and micro nutrients. The substrate's light, non-compacting, porous structure is also highly beneficial to nitrifying bacteria, which rapidly colonize the vast porous surface, providing optimal water quality for plants.
Fluval Bio Stratum's inherent properties will help support a neutral to slightly acidic pH, ideal for most plant species and species of tropical fish or shrimp normally kept in planted aquariums. Fluval Bio Stratum also provides newborn shrimp with the ideal refuge, allowing them to escape predation until they are large enough to emerge.
This highly attractive substrate will not discolor water and helps control organic discoloration usually present when natural driftwood is used. The unique curing and heat treatment process helps extend soil life and ensures no parasites are present. 2 kg (4.4 lbs)
