Dennerle Plants Soil

Dennerle Plants Soil is rich in nutrients and is therefore particularly suitable for planted aquariums. In addition, Dennerle Plants Soil is an active substrate that lowers the carbonate hardness (KH) and stabilises the pH value (approx. pH 6-6,5, KH 0-2°dKH). Many aquarium inhabitants and also many aquarium plants prefer soft, slightly acidic water as in their tropical habitat. Dennerle Plants Soil is a natural product and consists of 100% valuable clay minerals. For filter bacteria, the porous 2-3 mm grains offer an optimal colonisation area to promote biological filtration. Dennerle Plants Soil substrate is ready out of the bag. A layer of gravel is not necessary.

Use of Dennerle Plants Soil
Fill Soil substrate directly from the bag into the aquarium. For foreground plants we recommend a minimum height of 4-5cm, which should rise towards the back. Soil that rises towards the back makes the aquarium look larger, because the depth effect is increased. A substrate height of 7-9cm in the background is sufficient for most plants. Depending on the design, the substrate in the background can also be considerably higher. Dennerle Plants Soil can be used as the sole substrate. An additional bottom layer of long-term nutrient soil, such as the Substrate, is not necessary, but can be used for particularly long standing times.

Soil substrate is very rich in nutrients and initially releases more of them into the water. In a freshly set up aquarium with a low plant mass and few filter bacteria, this can promote algae growth without appropriate countermeasures. For this reason, we recommend more frequent and larger water changes during the first 4 weeks (25-50% several times a week).
