AF Freshwater Lava Soil

The natural substrate based on brown volcanic lava - perfect for any freshwater aquarium.
To provide optimal conditions for plant growth, AF Lava Soil was enriched with valuable minerals. This natural substrate gradually releases minerals into the water and, due to its high porosity, supports the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
The unique structure of AF Lava Soil facilitates the rooting of aquatic plants and prevents the formation of anaerobic zones where bacteria that produce toxic hydrogen sulphide can develop. It ensures better water circulation in the tank substrate, facilitating a balanced nutrient distribution and improving plant absorption.
The substrate is thoroughly rinsed; however, right after filling the aquarium with water, a slight water haziness may occur. The haziness is natural, does not cause any side effects and disappears after about 12 hours.
Due to the high mineral content, we recommend limiting the dosage of micronutrient fertilisers during the first half of the year following the tank’s setup to avoid accumulation.
HOW TO USE:
Place approximately 7 cm layer of AF Lava Soil in the bottom of the tank, fill with water to the level of approx. 10 cm, plant the plants and complete filling the aquarium with water.
