Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum, 8.8 lbs

Originating from the nutrient-packed slopes of Japan's renowned Mont Aso Volcano, Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum is a top-tier substrate designed to boost aquatic plant development in freshwater tanks. Its unique composition allows plant roots to effortlessly delve into the substrate, accessing a wealth of essential nutrients to promote vigorous growth.

Pairing this substrate with FLUVAL PLANT MICRO NUTRIENTS ensures plants receive a balanced mix of vital macro and micro nutrients. The substrate's lightweight, non-compacting, and porous texture also supports the rapid growth of beneficial nitrifying bacteria, which colonize the expansive surface area to maintain excellent water quality for thriving plants.

Fluval Stratum naturally fosters a neutral to slightly acidic pH, which is optimal for a wide range of plant species as well as tropical fish and shrimp commonly found in planted aquariums. Additionally, it offers newborn shrimp a safe haven, protecting them from predators until they are ready to venture out.

This visually appealing substrate keeps water clear and reduces organic discoloration often caused by natural driftwood. Weighing 4 Kg / 8.8 lb, it's a perfect choice for any aquarist.
