Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum

DESCRIPTION

Collected from the mineral rich foothills of the famous Mont Aso Volcano in Japan. Fluval Stratum is the substrate for stimulating the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater aquariums. Plant roots easily penetrate and spread throughout the substrate, allowing plants to obtain a variety of key, readily available nutrients that will make them flourish.

The addition of Fluval Plant Micro Nutrients will ensure a full complement of essential macro and micro nutrients. The substrate’s light, non-compacting, porous structure is also highly beneficial to nitrifying bacteria, which rapidly colonize the vast porous surface, providing optimal water quality for plants.

Key Benefits:

Encourages strong plant growth – roots easily penetrate and spread throughout substrate to obtain key nutrients

Porous structure allows for rapid colonization of beneficial nitrifying bacteria

Helps support neutral to slightly acidic pH – ideal for most plants, tropical fish and shrimp normally kept in planted aquariums

Provides newborn shrimp with a refuge from predators until they are large enough to emerge

Will not discolor water and helps control organic discoloration when natural driftwood is present

For use in freshwater aquariums
