Use is simple and does not require pre-rinsing. After starting the aquarium, the substrate provides sufficient nutrients, so additional fertilizers are not necessary at the initial stage. Our product is perfect for both experienced breeders and those just starting their adventure with aquaculture.

Aqua Soil is manufactured so that the granules have as many pores as possible, becoming similar to activated carbon or ceramic. This promotes the colonization of nitrifying bacteria from the anaerobic strain, which cannot compete with the aerobic bacteria present in abundance in the filter.

The right amount of anaerobic bacteria promotes faster and complete decomposition of NH3 and NH4, where, as you know, there is no oxygen.

Furthermore, not only thanks to its porous surface but also to its irregular shape, the substrate can retain organic particles, clarifying the water. The "absorbed" suspension is eventually eaten away by the bacteria inhabiting your substrate.

Another important feature that we cannot overlook is its ability to resist decomposition. Chihiros aquatic plant soil is produced using a proprietary process that has excellent anti-decomposition properties.

Its decomposition rate does not exceed 3%, and within three years, it can be reused many times. It is specially designed for enthusiasts who enjoy experimenting with their aquarium layout. In short, you can dig as much as you want, and the substrate will not fall apart.

This is quite important because decomposing soil creates an impermeable mass that does nothing but cause algae and dirty water.
