Tropica Aquarium Soil Powder 9Ltr | NEW

Tropica Aquarium Soil Powder 9Ltr

Aquarium Soil Powder ensures good and active growth from the beginning, and boosts the red plant shades. It is a complete bottom layer, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer. Aquarium Soil Powder is further an active bottom layer that lowers the pH value and slightly affects the water chemistry.
We recommend that you change 25-50% of the water min. twice a week during the first 4 weeks after establishing the aquarium.

How do I calculate the quantity of Tropica Soil or  Tropica Soil Powder needed for my tank?

• Measure your tank’s length and width in cm, for example 90 x 60 cm.
• Consider the thickness of the bottom layer you want, e.g. 8 cm.
  Make the layer thicker towards the rear wall for a great visual effect!
• The calculation to do is length x width x layer divided by 1000.

In our example, 90 x 60 x 8/1000 = 43.2 L Soil/Soil Powder needed.

Aquarium Soil Powder is used when planning a new aquarium. The fine-grained active bottom layer is especially suitable for front plants – see how to use it here.

Why we love and recommend this:

Powder form for hassle-free planting a root growth for smaller foreground plants such as Micranthemum Monte Carlo, Hemianthus callitrichoides ‘Cuba’, Utricularia Gramminfolia, and more

Buffers water to slightly acidic pH for better aquatic plant nutrient consumption environment

Choosing a quality aquarium substrate is an essential part of a planted tank as it provides vital nutrients for lush aquatic plant growth and helps balance water properties by decreasing the hardness/pH for optimal levels for aquatic plants, shrimp, and most tropical fish.

Tropica Aquarium Soil is perfect for your new aquarium and can be used without any additional bottom layers or additives.

What’s the difference between Tropica Aquarium Soil Normal and Powder?
Powder features smaller granules of soil which is beneficial for plants with shorter and less developed roots which is common with foreground plants.

Our recommended granule size for aquatic plants such as Micranthemum ‘Monte Carlo’, Hemianthus Callitrichoides ‘Cuba’ and other similar sized plants.
