Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum Aquarium Planting Substrate, Brown, 8 kg

Product Information

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. After rinsing off the stratum, it’s unlikely to have much dirt in it. However, the residue might find a way to get there in the water, which you should drain out. Let your filter do the magic Consequential Loss or Damage: The store cannot take responsibility for any consequential loss or damage that arises directly or indirectly from the goods supplied. What you find inside the bag of Fluval Stratum is literally the dirtballs condensed into pellets. Washing it may end up breaking these soft tiny pellets turning them into mush. And this is why many hobbyists prefer to directly put the substrate in the tank without cleaning it. Avoid agitating the substrate much. Our only aim is to get rid of the loose particles so they don’t get into the tank and cloud the water. Add water slowly
