JIBAN SOIL is a complete substrate for freshwater tanks run as high-tech planted aquariums, where strong lighting and CO2 injection drive dense growth. It is aimed at hobbyists keeping heavily planted Dutch-style layouts who need a single base layer that supports root systems and stabilises water chemistry.
Why it matters
- Porous sintered matrix: The formed and fired structure is homogeneous and porous, giving bacteria and plant roots a surface to colonise.
- Ion exchange capacity: A high ion exchange capacity helps stabilise water parameters and lowers general and carbonate hardness.
- pH correction: The substrate corrects pH, which suits plants and tropical fish from soft, slightly acidic biotopes.
- Long-term nutrient release: Nutrients and bio-stimulating substances are released gradually into the water over time.
Specifications
- Brand: YOKUCHI
- Model symbol: YOKUCHI JIBAN 4L
- EAN: 5903137560025
- Volume: 4 L

- Water recommendation: RO water with Ishiko plant mineral added; tap water allowed up to 20 dH general hardness, though ion exchange properties will be used up faster
What it works with
The substrate is intended for freshwater planted tanks with intensive lighting and CO2, and is dosed for a new set-up by covering the bottom with at least 6 cm, soaking it for 30–45 minutes, and planting with tweezers. For the first four weeks, 25–50% water changes twice a week are recommended until the tank stabilises. Do not rinse the substrate and do not mix it with substrates or underlays from other manufacturers.

Frequently asked questions
Yes, the substrate is designed for high-tech aquariums with intensive lighting and a CO2 system, and it is heavily planted with Hollandia-type plants. It is a complete substrate for freshwater tanks.
For a new tank, cover the bottom with at least 6 cm of the substrate. Soak it thoroughly with water and let it rest for about 30-45 minutes before planting, then plant with tweezers, placing the roots into the substrate.
No, it is ready to use and should not be rinsed. It should also not be mixed with substrates or underlays from other manufacturers.
Reverse osmosis (RO) water with the Ishiko plant mineral added is recommended. Tap water can be used if its general hardness does not exceed 20 dH, but in that case the substrate loses its ion-exchange properties faster.
It lowers general and carbonate hardness and helps correct pH, creating conditions for plants and for tropical fish from slightly acidic water biotopes. Its ion-exchange capacity helps stabilize water parameters.
