Product description

Aqua Soil is a planted-tank substrate for aquarists who want a nutrient-rich base from the first day of setup and who plan to rework their aquascape over time. It is sold in three 3 L bags, and the substrate in each bag is the same as in the 9 L packaging.

Why it matters

  • The granules are made with a high pore count and irregular shapes, similar to activated carbon or ceramic media. According to the manufacturer, this supports colonization by nitrifying bacteria, including anaerobic strains that work in the oxygen-poor zones of the substrate.
  • The porous, irregular structure also traps organic particles, which the manufacturer states helps clarify the water. Trapped debris is gradually broken down by the bacteria living in the substrate.
  • The manufacturer reports a decay rate below 3% and says the substrate stays intact for three years, so it can be disturbed during replanting without breaking down into a compacted layer that blocks water flow.
  • According to the manufacturer, the substrate stabilizes pH and water hardness and supports root development. After the tank has cycled, it is said to supply enough nutrients that additional fertilizers are not needed at the start.

What it works with

Aqua Soil is intended for planted freshwater aquariums, where it serves as the rooting medium and nutrient base under the plants. The data does not specify tank sizes or compatible species, so check those against your own setup before buying. It can be used with the standard setup routine: no pre-rinsing is required, and the manufacturer says no extra fertilizer is needed during the early stage of the tank.

Frequently asked questions

No. According to the supplier, the substrate does not require rinsing before use. It can be added to the aquarium directly.

According to the supplier, after the aquarium has been started, the substrate provides enough nutrients, so extra fertilizers are not necessary at the initial stage.

The substrate is dark grey when dry and black when underwater.

The supplier states that the decomposition rate does not exceed 3%, so the substrate holds its structure even with frequent rearranging. It can also be reused many times.

The product is sold as 3 x 3 L bags, and the substrate in the 3 L bags is identical to the substrate in the 9 L bags.
