Originating from the nutrient-packed slopes of Japan's renowned Mont Aso Volcano, Fluval Plant & Shrimp Stratum is a premium substrate designed to boost the vitality of aquatic plants in freshwater tanks. Its unique composition allows plant roots to effortlessly penetrate and expand, accessing a wealth of essential nutrients for robust growth.
Pairing this substrate with FLUVAL PLANT MICRO NUTRIENTS guarantees a complete supply of vital macro and micro nutrients. The substrate's lightweight, non-compressing, and porous texture is perfect for beneficial nitrifying bacteria, which quickly inhabit the expansive surface area, ensuring excellent water quality for thriving plants.
Fluval Stratum naturally maintains a neutral to slightly acidic pH, creating an optimal environment for a wide range of plant species as well as tropical fish and shrimp commonly found in planted aquariums. It also serves as a safe haven for newborn shrimp, protecting them from predators until they grow larger.
