Its 2–3 mm grain size makes planting easy while allowing roots to spread efficiently throughout the substrate. The nutrient-rich composition helps promote lush growth and can enhance the natural red tones found in many aquatic plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"451\" data-end=\"791\"\u003eThis active substrate can be used on its own without requiring an additional base layer, making aquarium setup simple and effective for both beginner and experienced aquascapers. Aquarium Soil also gently lowers pH and slightly affects water chemistry, helping create ideal conditions for many planted aquarium layouts and tropical species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"793\" data-end=\"985\"\u003eFor newly established aquariums, it is recommended to perform 25–50% water changes at least twice weekly during the first four weeks to help stabilize the aquarium while the substrate settles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"987\" data-end=\"1056\"\u003ePerfect for planted aquariums, shrimp tanks, and aquascaping layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1092\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1058\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003eAvailable Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1081\"\u003e• 3L\u003cbr data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1088\"\u003e• 9L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1189\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1094\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003eHow Much Soil Do You Need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1124\" data-end=\"1127\"\u003eTo calculate the amount of substrate needed for your aquarium:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1191\" data-end=\"1269\"\u003eLength (cm) × Width (cm) × Desired Substrate Depth (cm) ÷ 1000 = Litres Needed\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1271\" data-end=\"1330\"\u003eExample:\u003cbr data-start=\"1279\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003e90 × 60 × 8 ÷ 1000 = 43.2L of substrate required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1482\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eFor a more natural aquascape appearance, many hobbyists create a deeper substrate bed toward the back of the aquarium for added depth and perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tropica","offers":[{"title":"3L","offer_id":48177879187678,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9L","offer_id":48177879220446,"sku":null,"price":68.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/4768\/4574\/files\/1.jpg?v=1777412146","url":"https:\/\/poseidonaquaticsandplants.com\/products\/tropica-aquarium-soil","provider":"Poseidon Aquatics And Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
