## Overview

Tropica Aquarium Soil Powder is a premium 3L substrate designed as a complete, active base layer for planted aquariums. Its fine 2mm grain size facilitates easy planting and promotes healthy root development. The substrate naturally lowers pH and enhances water chemistry, stimulating vigorous plant growth and intensifying red coloration. Ideal for professional aquascapers seeking a vibrant, low-maintenance foundation that doubles as a stunning visual element.

## Description

Product description How to use the Soil Powder aquarium ensures good active growth from the start, and strengthens the red colours of the plants. It is a full bottom layer that can be used without any other type of gravel or substrate. The Soil Powder aquarium is also an active background layer that reduces pH and slightly influences water chemistry. This is why we recommend 2 weekly changes of 25-50% of water during the first 4 weeks of the aquarium. How do I calculate how much Soil or Soil Powder I need for my aquarium if I use it as a complete floor? Measure the length and width of your aquarium, for example 90 x 60 cm. Decide the thickness of the base layer you want, e.g. 8 cm (average) You will have enough product to create a thicker floor on the back to achieve a beautiful visual effect. The calculation is: Length x Width x Thickness divided by 1000. In our example, 90 x 60 x 8/1000 = 43.2 L Soil/Soil Powder. Safety Warning It is recommended to avoid inhalation of the product, keep it away from children and dispose of it so as to minimize the environmental impact

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It’s so confusing with the naming of the soil as they are so similar. Is this a top layer soil or a bottom substrate? Help**
A: This is layer soil.

**Q: can you put gravel on top of this soil?**
A: Yes you should do really as it’s it quite powdery. I’ve got gravel on top mine and helps it stay down better. You can put the soil in a net bag too. It’s basically a mesh bag with a plastic zip. But only fill them half full so you can shape them.

**Q: I washed this before it went into my tank will it still be ok?**
A: Prob but you will prob need root tabs in to replace the nutrients absorb by the plants you used before
