ADVANCED SOIL ORIGINAL 8L is an active aquarium substrate manufactured in Japan by AquaCenteR (Japan Pet Communications Co., Ltd.), distributed by Aquael. Dedicated to freshwater aquariums, including natural aquariums, it consists of black granules with a diameter of 1-4 mm, made of natural, organic ingredients, safe for fish, shrimps and plants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stabilization of water parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The substrate actively regulates water parameters, lowering pH to a range of 5.5-6.5 and carbonate hardness (KH) to a maximum of 3&deg;d. It creates a slightly acidic environment, ideal for many species of fish, shrimp and aquarium plants. Absorbs toxic substances such as nitrogen compounds, providing crystal clear water and reducing the need for frequent water changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Support for the ecosystem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The porous structure of the granules provides a habitat for beneficial filter bacteria that eliminate harmful compounds, speeding up the maturation of the tank. The substrate does not contain nitrogen or phosphorus compounds, is safe for aquatic organisms and does not change the color or clarity of the water. Its properties last for a long time, eliminating the need for frequent replacement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Decorative and functional design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The dark color of the substrate gives the aquarium a natural, aesthetic look, highlighting the colors of fish, shrimp and plants. The 1-4 mm granularity facilitates the arrangement and planting of plants, ensuring the stability of the substrate. The product does not need to be rinsed before use, making it easy to set up an aquarium.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dedicated to medium-sized aquariums<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 8L package (weight about 7.3 kg) is recommended for aquariums with a bottom size of 60&times;30 cm, such as Aquael Opti Set 125 or Classic 80. Ideal for aquarists creating natural arrangements with fish and shrimps.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Use this product as a top layer or in combination with a base substrate (such as basalt gravel). Does not require rinsing before use. Store in a dry place. Warranty: 2 years.<\/p>\n<table width=\"697\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"90\">\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"101\">\n<p><strong>H.E.L.P.
