JBL Pro Scape Shrimp Soil Brown 3L

• Soil without additional nutrients for shrimp aquariums: special substrate for aquascaping aquariums
• Softening effect makes it especially suitable for shrimps and other animals which prefer soft water
• Thriving plant growth: ideal oxygen supply and circulation in the substrate thanks to medium grain size. Immediate supply of nutrients and minerals
• Tropical water values: slightly acidic pH values and low carbonate hardness. Reduses water hardness – water becomes soft
• Contents: 1 bag ProScape ShrimpsSoil Brown

Underwater gardener

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. Nitrogens, phosphorus and other minerals become scarce substances and need precise re-dosing. The plants need light for their healthy growth in a beautiful underwater landscape, CO2 and the right nutrients.

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 plant soils are rich in nutrients and supply the plants with a lot of nutrients and minerals, whereas ShrimpsSoils are lower in nutrients, but still supply enough nutrients to the plants.

Use:

Rinse the substrate briefly under 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 depend on the input water values and the intervals between the water changes.
