JBL Manado Dark 3l - substrate for plants

Advantages:
- Optimal for caring for plants in freshwater aquariums. Its porous structure supports root growth.
- Suitable for digging fish.
- Nutrient storage with high iron content.
- Can absorb excess nutrients and release them when needed.
- High iron content can be absorbed by plant roots.
- Stimulates soil flora by effectively and quickly colonizing beneficial bacteria in the substrate. This limits unwanted algae growth, relieves the filter, and keeps the water crystal clear.
- Enhances the colors of fish thanks to its dark brown color, which highlights the colors of the fish and, combined with the green and red tones of the plants, creates a harmonious overall picture.
- Ready-to-use substrate that should be rinsed once with running water before use.



Successful plant care: Natural substrate stimulates soil flora and is optimal for plant care. A nutrient storage that acts like a battery (releases nutrients until depleted and can be recharged with additional fertilization) is neutral to water and rounded. This makes it ideal for digging species like loaches and catfish.

Combination with long-lasting nutrient substrate: Supplementing with JBL ProFlora AquaBasis plus as a long-lasting nutrient substrate with JBL Manado Dark as a top layer also ensures strong and healthy growth of very demanding plants.

Usage: Before use, briefly rinse with lukewarm tap water to remove dust created during transport.
Calculation formula: Proper amount of substrate: Length (cm) x Width (cm): 200 = liters of substrate at 5 cm thickness.

3l of substrate is sufficient for a 30l aquarium.

Grain size: 1.5mm - 2.5mm
