Natural Substrate 7.5l – natural substrate

This 7.5 l bag of Aquaforest Natural Substrate is a nutrient-based planting medium for freshwater aquariums with live plants. It suits aquascapers and planted tank keepers who want the roots to take hold in a substrate that supplies nutrients from the start, rather than relying solely on liquid fertilisers.

Why it matters

• The mix contains no sand or other filler, so the full volume works as active planting material.
• Peat provides a base for rooting and adds trace elements needed for steady plant growth.
• Its slightly acidic character, combined with organic carbon and phosphorus, iron and calcium, suits tropical aquarium plants.
• Clay gives the substrate its consistency and contributes nutrients and support for the biological balance of the tank.

What it works with

The substrate is designed for freshwater aquariums planted with tropical species. Trace elements in the mix are selected to match plant needs without upsetting the chemical balance of the water. The manufacturer advises not to add fertilisers containing micronutrients for the first three months unless plants show signs of deficiency.
