JBL - ProScape Shrimps Soil - Brown 3L

JBL - ProScape Shrimps Soil - Brown 3L

• Soil without additional nutrients, for shrimp aquariums and Aquascaping.
• Softening effect makes it particularly suitable for aquarium shrimp and animals that prefer soft water
• Ideal oxygen supply and circulation in the substrate thanks to medium grain size. Immediate supply of nutrients and minerals
• Slightly acidic pH values and low carbonate hardness. Reduces the hardness of the water - the water becomes soft

Underwater gardeners

Aquascaping is the term used to describe the technique of designing aquarium landscapes. This is the place for plant compositions, for the reproduction of a landscape above water or for natural biotopes. An aquascaping aquarium contains no or few fish and invertebrates. This way the nutrient supply for plants is reduced and their growth is limited. Nitrogen, phosphorus and other minerals become scarce substances and need precise re-dosing. The plants need light, CO2 and the right nutrients for their healthy growth in a beautiful underwater landscape.

Especially for shrimp aquariums

ProScape soils are dedicated substrates which have been especially adapted to the requirements of the aquascapers. Soils are not neutral to water, but have a softening effect. They make the water softer and acidify the water just enough to slide the pH value slightly into the acidic range. The JBL PlantSoils are rich in nutrients and supply the plants with a lot of nutrients and minerals immediately, whereas ShrimpsSoils are lower in nutrients, but still supply enough nutrients to the plants.

Usage:

Rinse the substrate briefly in tap water to wash away any abrasion caused in transport. To avoid accumulation of minerals in the water, carry out a 50% water change every 2 to 3 days in the first two weeks after filling. The softening effect decreases in the course of time because the influence of the water values ​​depends on the input water values ​​and the intervals between the water changes.
