Fluval Stratum is the ideal substrate for stimulating the growth of
aquatic plants in freshwater aquariums. Plant roots easily penetrate and
spread throughout the substrate, allowing plants to obtain a variety of
key, readily available nutrients that will make them flourish.
The addition of FLUVAL PLANT MICRO NUTRIENTS will ensure a full
complement of essential macro and micro nutrients. The substrate's
light, non-compacting, porous structure is also highly beneficial to
nitrifying bacteria, which rapidly colonize the vast porous surface,
providing optimal water quality for plants.
Fluval Stratum's inherent properties will help support a neutral to
slightly acidic pH, ideal for most plant species and species of tropical
fish or shrimp normally kept in planted aquariums. Fluval Stratum also
provides new born shrimp with the ideal refuge, allowing them to escape
predation until they are large enough to emerge.
This highly attractive substrate will not discolour water and helps
control organic discolouration usually present when natural driftwood is
used.
