Product Overview

Premium Soil, specially crafted for planted and shrimp aquariums, is an advanced natural substrate that automatically adjusts water properties. It is designed to provide an optimal and stable environment mimicking natural habitats, which supports the rapid growth of roots and plants while creating a healthy living environment for fish and sensitive aquatic life.  

Primary Uses

1. Naturally adjusting water properties and lowering pH/KH levels to create a weak acid and soft water environment.  

2. Providing an ideal substrate environment for anchoring and growing aquatic plant roots with high nutritional efficiency.  

3. Absorbing and purifying aquarium water from natural driftwood pigments to maintain water clarity.  

4. Ideal for breeding and raising sensitive shrimp, such as Crystal Red Shrimp, and acid-loving fish species like Neon Tetras and Discus.  

Benefits and Features

1. Natural Water Modification: Lowers pH and hardness values to precisely suit tropical plants and fish.  

2. Long-Lasting Clarity: Maintains the purity and transparency of aquarium water for extended periods without clouding.  

3. Quick Dust and Turbidity Removal: Clears cloudiness extremely fast when filling the aquarium for the first time and supports the proliferation of beneficial aerobic bacteria.  

4. Ideal Characteristics for Shrimp and Plants: Grants aquariums a natural aesthetic look with a luxurious black color and provides essential nutrients for biological flourishing.  

How to Use

1. Place the appropriate amount of substrate in the bottom of the dry aquarium according to the total capacity to cover the bottom with sufficient thickness (usually 5 to 7 cm).

2. Arrange the decor, driftwood, and rocks, then carefully plant the aquatic plants inside the substrate.

3. Fill the aquarium with water very slowly and gently (it is preferable to use a plate or plastic bag under the water flow) to avoid washing away the substrate and stirring up dust.

4. Turn on the filtration system and let the water settle and circulate for several days before introducing fish or living organisms to ensure biological balance stability.

Important Guidelines

1. Do not wash the substrate with water before using it; it is designed to be placed directly into the aquarium as is to ensure it retains its nutrient properties and active ingredients.

2. Make sure to choose the appropriate quantity for your tank's weight and capacity to ensure sufficient depth for plant rooting and stability.  

3. Monitor pH levels regularly during the first few weeks of setting up the new aquarium to ensure a stable environment for fish and plants.
