Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum 17.6 lb.
Collected from the mineral rich foothills of the famous Mount Aso Volcano in Japan, 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. 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.
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 discolor water and helps control organic discoloration usually present when natural driftwood is used.
- Mineral rich volcanic soil
- Stimulates strong plant growth
- Promotes neutral to mildly acidic pH
- For plants or shrimp
- Recommended depth : 3-4 CM (1.18 - 1.57 IN)

This substrate is great by Fluval
This substrate by Fluval is fantastic. My plants are thriving in it. I have 4 green cory catfish and they keep it clean so I do not have to vacuum. I just change out water. I use the Fluval powervac and just have to lightly wave it but my substrate is so clean from my bottom feeders I have no problems.

Looks good in aquarium.
Substrate looks good in aquarium. It is rather dusty so a good rinse is in order. It is also light weight and takes a gentle touch to get plants anchored. I would definitely purchase it again.
