Jiban Soil is a complete substrate for freshwater aquariums, designed for high-tech tanks equipped with intense lighting and a CO2 system. It is intended for keepers who want to stabilise water chemistry while supporting plant roots and beneficial microorganisms in a single layer.
Why it matters
- The substrate is formed by a process of shaping and sintering, which creates a homogeneous, porous matrix that serves as a habitat for microorganisms and plant root systems.
- Its high cation exchange capacity helps stabilise water parameters, and according to the manufacturer it reduces general and carbonate hardness and corrects pH.
- The manufacturer states that nutrients and biostimulating substances are released slowly over a long period, supplying the aquarium without the need to start with a separate fertiliser layer.
- It is supplied ready to use and must not be rinsed, so it can be placed in the tank as delivered.
