Product description
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.

What it works with
The product is listed in the exotic underwater category, under substrates for aquariums. It suits tanks where the substrate is meant to hold plants, and the 7 cm layer is the depth the manufacturer recommends. Check the 5 l pack against the bottom area of your tank before buying.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the water may be cloudy for about 12 hours after the tank is flooded. The substrate is rinsed, but this is still normal and causes no side effects.
This volcanic substrate is rich in minerals, so dose micronutrient fertilizers carefully during the first six months to prevent them from building up in the aquarium.
Spread a layer of about 7 cm on the bottom, then pour water over it, plant your plants, and top up the aquarium with water.
