Usage Instructions

It is recommended to quickly rinse the soil with water before use to remove any dust accumulated during transport. After filling the aquarium, it is advisable to change 20–30% of the water every 2–3 days during the first two weeks to maintain water stability and prevent mineral buildup. The soil's effect gradually diminishes over time, depending on the frequency of water changes. How to Calculate the Required Amount of Soil

You can use the following formula to determine the appropriate amount of soil for the tank:

Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Soil Layer Height (cm) ÷ 1,000 = Number of Liters Required

Example:

For a tank measuring 60 × 30 cm with a soil height of 5 cm:

60 × 30 × 5 ÷ 1,000 = 9 liters

• This means you need one bag (9 liters) to cover the bottom of the tank with a suitable layer.
