Tropica Aquarium Soil

Tropica Aquarium Soil is a complete substrate that can be used without any other type of bottom layer. It is ideal for planting stems, rosulates and carpeting plants, ensuring proper growth and stimulating red colors. Its grain size of 2-3mm makes it easy to plant in it. Aquarium Soil is safe for fish and shrimp.

Aquarium Soil ensures good and active growth from the beginning, and boosts the red plant shades. Its is an active bottom layer that lowers the pH 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.

Aquarium Soil comes in 3L or 9L bags.

How much Aquarium Soil do I need?

1. Measure the area you want to cover. For a rectangular area it is the length X width of the area.

2. Consider the average thickness of the layer you want to create¹

3. Calculate the volume = area X thickness

   1. If you calculated in inches, divide volume by 62.5 to get volume in liters

   2. If you calculated in cm, divide volume by 1000 to get volume in liters

¹ If layer thickness is different in different parts of the covered area, estimate the average thickness, or try to divide the space into smaller areas of uniform thickness.
