Find a productProduct description
This active substrate is intended for planted freshwater aquariums of about 70–90 l, where a hobbyist wants stronger plant growth without installing a CO2 system. It is sold as an 8 l bag weighing 4 kg, and it comes with two fertiliser tablets to support plants from the first days of setup.
Why it matters
- No CO2 dosing: according to the manufacturer, the substrate is designed to support plant growth without a CO2 cylinder or regulator, including demanding and red-leaved species.
- Bacterial CO2 production: the formulation is meant to encourage beneficial bacteria, which produce CO2 dissolved in the water. The manufacturer notes that small bubbles rising from the bottom indicate this activity.
- Root-friendly structure: the manufacturer states that the substrate resists clumping, which supports root development.
- Faster filter cycle: the manufacturer reports that, with regular water changes, ammonia levels stabilise after about 15 days, which should limit algae.

Frequently asked questions
No. The substrate is designed to support plant growth without dosing CO2 from a cylinder, because its bacteria produce CO2 that dissolves in the water. You may see small bubbles rising from the bottom, which indicates the bacteria are active.
The manufacturer gives a recommended tank volume of 70 to 90 litres, with the best results in that range. The pack contains 8 litres of substrate and weighs 4 kg.
It buffers the pH and is described as keeping water at about 6.4 to 6.8, a slightly acidic range that suits most aquarium plants. The product is also described as helping to limit algae growth.
The set includes two fertilizer tablets: one contains NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) for growth, and the other contains iron (Fe), which supports leaf colour. The tablets are placed directly into the substrate, where the nutrients are released near the roots.
According to the manufacturer, ammonia levels can stabilise after about 15 days, provided you carry out regular water changes. Stabilisation within this period is said to help limit algae and support plant growth.
