Description
Plant & Shrimp Stratum 4kg (8. 8 lbs) from Fluval
Fluval Stratum is the ideal substrate for stimulating the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater aquariums.Collected from the mineral-rich foothills of Mount Aso Volcano in Japan, Fluval Stratum makes an ideal alternative substrate for planted aquariums and those featuring shrimp.
Plant roots easily filter in and spread throughout the substrate, allowing plants to obtain a variety of key, readily available nutrients.The substrate’s light, non compacting structure is also highly beneficial to nitrifying bacteria, which rapidly colonise the vast porous surface, providing the optimal water quality for plants.
Fluval Stratum’s inherent properties will help support a neutral to slightly acidic pH, ideal for most plant species and species of tropical fish or shrimp normally kept in planted aquariums.Fluval Stratum also provides newborn shrimp with the ideal refuge, allowing them to escape predation until they are large enough to emerge.This highly attrative substrate will not dicolour water and helps control organic discolouration usually present when natural driftwood is used.
