Aquaforest Lava Soil is a volcanic substrate for aquarists setting up or refreshing a planted tank. It is rinsed at the factory, but the water can still turn cloudy for a while after the tank is filled, so the first day needs a little patience.
Why it matters
- The substrate is rinsed, yet the water may stay cloudy for about 12 hours after filling. The manufacturer describes this as natural and free of side effects, and the cloudiness should clear on its own.
- Lava rock is mineral-rich. For the first six months, dose fertilizers that contain micronutrients with care, so they do not build up in the aquarium.
- The layout is simple: spread about 7 cm of substrate on the bottom, cover it with water, plant, then top up the tank.
