Shrimp King Active Soil 4L

When it comes to creating an excellent aquascape for your fish, it is important to try and recreate the natural habitat of your fish in certain aspects, such as the water quality. In order to do so, many aquarists will add supplements to the water to manage things like the hardness of the water or the pH, but sometimes, there are even easier ways to create a natural environment. By using the Shrimp King Active Soil, for example, the pH is lowered in a natural way to around 6.0 – 6.5, and the carbonate hardness to 0 – 2, which is highly preferred by a large range of Caridina shrimp for optimal growth.

What is Shrimp King Active Soil?

Shrimp King Active Soil is made entirely from natural substances. This ensures that the soil works optimally and that no unnatural additives are introduced into the aquarium. The grain size of 1-4 millimeters, combined with the black color, create a beautiful substrate that gives the aquarium a natural look. The black color also ensures that shrimps and aquarium plants stand out well from the bottom.

What are the benefits of Shrimp King Active Soil?

By adjusting the water values to the needs of the shrimp, growth, coloring, and breeding are supported. This means you will see the shrimps more often, and young shrimps will have a much better chance to survive. The soft and acidic environment also ensures optimal growth of aquarium plants, and even the most difficult aquarium plants can be kept in the aquarium.

Excellent for cleaner water

The soil also works as a natural filter, binding pollutants to allow for healthier living conditions and for crystal clear water. The pores of the soil also allow healthy bacteria to settle in the substrate, which can further promote the decomposition of pollutants.
