Find a productProduct description
This substrate is aimed at keepers of densely planted Dutch-style freshwater tanks that run strong lighting and CO2 injection. It is intended for setups where plant roots need a stable, nutrient-releasing base and where the water hardness and pH need to be kept in check.
Why it matters
- The porous, sintered matrix gives nitrifying bacteria a surface to colonise and gives plant roots room to develop.
- Nutrients and bio-stimulating substances are released gradually over a long period, so the bed does not need frequent dosing.
- A large cation exchange capacity reduces general and carbonate hardness and corrects pH, which suits biotopes with soft, slightly acidic water.
- The product is ready to use and must not be rinsed, which means it can be placed in the tank as delivered.

What it works with
Use it in freshwater tanks where planted high-tech conditions are the goal, paired with intensive lighting and CO2. Do not mix it with substrates or underlays from other manufacturers. The manufacturer recommends RO water with the Ishiko plant mineral remineraliser, and tap water is acceptable only if its general hardness stays within the stated limit.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the substrate is designed for high-tech aquariums with intense lighting and a CO2 system, and it is heavily planted with 'holender' plants. It is a complete substrate for freshwater tanks.
No, it is ready to use and must not be rinsed. Do not mix it with substrates or substrate bases from other manufacturers.
Cover the bottom with at least 6 cm of the substrate. Wet it thoroughly with water and let it soak for about 30-45 minutes before planting.
RO water with the addition of Ishiko plant mineral is recommended. Tap water with a general hardness not exceeding 20 dH is allowed, but the substrate will lose its ion-exchange properties faster in that case.
For the first 4 weeks, a 25-50% water change twice a week is recommended until the aquarium stabilizes. Water parameters take some time to stabilize after the first filling and after each water change.
