Aquarium Plants Soil

Features:

1. Long Fertility: Enriched with trace elements, this aquarium gravel has a longer life than common gravel, making it economical.
2. Easy to Use: No need to wash before use; can be put directly into the fish tank.
3. Eco-Friendly: Nutrients in the gravel are continuously released without polluting the water.
4. High Stability: The gravel does not decompose easily, preventing it from turning into powder or muddy water.
5. Water pH Balance: Suitable for creating a weak acid water bed environment, but not suitable for alkaline water fish and marine aquaculture environments.

How to Use the Soil for Planting:

1. This aquarium substrate soil does not need to be washed before use.
2. The suitable thickness of the soil for breeding aquatic plants is preferably 6-8 cm on average.
3. Lay it flat on the bottom of the tank, with the front low and the rear high for a stronger stereo effect.
4. If the soil is relatively dry, use a watering can to wet the soil before filling it with water. Wait for 10 minutes before refilling. Control the water flow to prevent disturbing the soil bed.
5. Keep the soil moist or immersed in water when planting.
6. After water injection, the water may be slightly turbid. Add nitrating bacteria, use filter cotton in the filter tank, and use activated carbon to accelerate water purification.
7. After stabilizing the water quality and establishing the nitrification system, introduce aquarium organisms. (Advice: Replace all the water 48 hours after injection and re-fill to remove excess humic acid.)
8. Use root fertilizer and liquid fertilizer in a timely manner. Normally, no fertilizer or nutrient solution is needed within the first 2 weeks of tank setup. Add fertilizers after two weeks.

Water Grass Seed Planting Tips:

• Best planting temperature: 25-28°C
• Ensure the temperature is at least 25°C

Precautions:

1. Separate fish and fish tank when breeding water grass seeds.
2. It is recommended to plant seeds in a sunny place. Use aquatic lights in autumn and winter.
3. Seal the fish tank with cling film, open it 1-2 times a day, and spray water to keep it moist. Avoid flooding the soil bed.

Suitable Soil Types:

• Quartz Sand: No
• Water Grass Mud: Yes
• Stone: No
• Ceramsite: Yes
• River Sand: Yes

Planting Steps:

1. Add soil.
2. Spray water to make soil wet.
3. Spread seeds evenly on soil.
4. Gently spray water and add water to the soil surface.
5. Cover the fish tank with plastic wrap.
6. Maintain a temperature of 25-30°C.
7. When water plants sprout completely, add water along the fish tank wall to avoid disturbing the seeds.
