About this item
- Natural volcanic ash with beneficial properties for aquatic plant growth and long-term care of fishes and motile invertebrates requiring slightly-acidic, low-GH water conditions
- Description of age range: Appropriate for every stage of life.
- Binds elements that contribute to hardness, lowering general hardness and resulting in a slight acidification of alkaline water to a pH of less than 7
- Ideal for use as a substrate in shrimp biotope aquaria, ~3mm particle substrate
- When used as a primary substrate, forms the basis of a stable growth medium for rooted aquatic plants by permitting development of strong root systems, encouraging nutrient-uptake through roots, and allowing roots to remain sufficiently oxygenated
