Fluval Stratum is a great, nutrient-rich substrate that can be used in both low-tech and high-tech tanks. It contains all macronutrients and many important micronutrients. This means it leaches ammonia into the water column so you’ll need to make sure you establish a biological filter before adding fish.

This product from Fluval is not only recommended for all beginners in the world of aquaristics, freshwater aquariums and shrimp farming. Even experts and experts will appreciate the advantages of Fluval Stratum, especially when it comes to stable values and abundant plant growth. Both are important factors for both a plant and a shrimp aquarium. Substrate with a high buffering capacity consume carbonate minerals and reduce the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+). This lowers the pH of the aquarium water, which is generally better for plant growth. 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. 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 to Fluval Stratum will ensure a full compliment of essential macro and micro nutrients. The subtrate'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 fish.

According to the store’s policy, customers have the following responsibilities regarding breakages:

It will help deflect the water from directly hitting the substrate. This way, the water will gently disperse over the tank without causing any disturbance to Fluval Stratum. Porosity is a measure how much much empty space is within a grain of substrate. In other words, how many holes are in each grain. Substrate porosity Because of the Fluval Stratum's properties to natural supports a neutral to slightly acidic pH which is ideal for most tropical fish, shrimp, and plants. 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.

They are softer though, so excessive substrate vacuuming and plant adjustments may cause them to break down with frequent use. How deep should aquarium substrate be? Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum is a substrate with a slightly acidic ph which is ideal for most plants, tropical fish and shrimp normally kept in planted freshwater aquariums. It helps control organic discolouration and provides newborn shrimp with a refuge from predators. This mineral-rich volcanic soil is particularly good for use with natural driftwood as it will stop organic discolouration without removing the key nutrients from the wood. This soil is also beneficial for aquatic plants as plant roots easily penetrate and spread throughout, receiving the specially formulated Fluval plant micro-nutrients. What are the benefits of this substrate? If you give your aquarium around two weeks time to work together with the new Fluval Stratum and fresh plants, you will ensure a calm, unexcited, stable ecosystem, as the small shrimp like it. Here too, the floor substrate shows its strengths to the full. Freshly hatched shrimps are the perfect retreat and the ideal hiding place. You can use a fine kitchen strainer or colander to rinse the substrate. Ideally, go for a garden hose with little to no water force. Keep in mind not to spray hard on the pellets as we don’t want to crush them into the dirt. Drain the substrate a few times until the water runs clearly. A 3-inch depth will make it a little easier for plants to grow and will also provide them with more nutrients if you choose to use aqua soils. Can you grow aquarium plants without substrate?
