Freshwater Aquarium Substrate Plant Active Growth 4L Ph Kh Gh

A heavily planted "Dutchman" substrate.

JIBAN SOIL is designed for high-tech aquariums equipped with intense lighting and a CO2 system.

Jiban soil is a complete substrate for freshwater aquariums. Top-class specialists in chemistry, biology, and environmental engineering participated in the creation of Jiban soil.

The highest quality raw materials of natural origin were used in the production of Jiban soil. The unique production process allowed for the preservation of all the natural properties of the substrates used.

The use of this substrate ensures the long-term release of nutrients and biostimulants into the aquarium.

Thanks to the revolutionary forming and sintering technology, a homogeneous and porous matrix was created, which is an ideal environment for the development of microorganisms and the root system of plants. Microorganisms and plants remain in symbiosis, ensuring perfect growth and appearance.

An additional advantage is the high ion exchange capacity, which perfectly stabilizes water parameters. Our substrate reduces general and carbonate hardness and corrects pH, creating an ideal environment for breeding both plants and tropical fish from slightly acidic water habitats.

The substrate is ready to use; do not rinse. It should not be mixed with substrates or substrates from other manufacturers. In a newly set up aquarium, cover the bottom surface with a minimum of 6 cm layer of Jiban soil 1.

Moisten the substrate generously with water and leave for approximately 30-45 minutes. Carefully plant the plants using tweezers, sinking their roots into the substrate. For the first 4 weeks, a 25-50% water change twice a week is recommended until the aquarium stabilizes.

After the initial fill and water changes, water parameters will stabilize again after some time. It is recommended to use RO water with Ishiko plant mineralizer. Tap water with a total hardness of no more than 20°H is acceptable, but this will cause the substrate to lose its ion exchange properties more quickly.
