Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum Soil

Introduction: Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum is a specially formulated substrate designed to provide an optimal environment for aquatic plants and shrimp. This high-quality substrate promotes healthy plant growth while creating a safe habitat for shrimp and other small aquatic organisms. Available in various sizes (2KG, 4KG, 8KG), Fluval Stratum is ideal for both freshwater planted tanks and shrimp breeding setups.

Features:

• Natural Composition: Made from volcanic soil, Fluval Stratum contains essential nutrients that encourage root development and overall plant health.
• Lightweight and Porous: Its lightweight nature allows for easy planting and helps maintain oxygen levels in the substrate, promoting beneficial bacterial growth.
• pH Neutral: Designed to maintain a stable pH level, making it suitable for a wide variety of freshwater plants and shrimp species.
• Nutrient-Rich: Provides a slow release of nutrients over time, reducing the need for additional fertilizers in planted aquariums.
• Attractive Appearance: The dark color and fine texture enhance the aesthetic of aquariums, creating a natural and appealing landscape for plants and shrimp.

Usage:

1. Preparation:
   • Rinse the substrate thoroughly before use to remove any dust or debris that may cloud the water during setup.
   • Decide on the layout of your aquarium, including plant placement and hardscape features.
2. Installation:
   • Spread Fluval Stratum evenly across the aquarium bottom to a depth of at least 3-5 cm for effective plant growth.
   • Arrange plants and decorations as desired, ensuring plants are securely anchored in the substrate.
3. Maintenance:
   • Regularly monitor water parameters to maintain optimal conditions for both plants and shrimp.
   • Perform partial water changes as needed, being cautious not to disturb the substrate too much.
   • Trim and maintain plants regularly to encourage healthy growth and prevent overcrowding.

Available Sizes:

• 2KG Bag: Suitable for small aquariums (up to 40 liters).
• 4KG Bag: Ideal for medium-sized tanks (40-100 liters).
• 8KG Bag: Recommended for larger aquariums (over 100 liters) or for those who want to create a thick substrate layer.

Recommendations:

• Ideal for Shrimp Breeders: Fluval Stratum is excellent for shrimp tanks as it encourages biofilm growth, which provides a natural food source for shrimp.
• Perfect for Planted Aquariums: This substrate is suitable for both beginner and experienced aquarists looking to create lush, planted environments.
• Combine with Fertilizers: While Fluval Stratum provides initial nutrients, supplementing with liquid fertilizers can further enhance plant growth in high-demand setups.
