API First Layer Pure Laterite
All natural premium planting media for aquarium plants
In tropical streambeds, aquatic plants are found growing in a special clay called Laterite. API First Layer Pure Laterite is an all natural Laterite in a granular form, which is ideal for aquarium use. The pure Laterite in this substrate and soil provides the perfect planting medium for a natural aquarium. Mixing all natural Laterite into the gravel bed creates an excellent planting medium for rooted aquatic plants. Safe for use with tropical fish.

—
New Aquariums:
- Rinse FIRST LAYER PURE LATERITE.
- Distribute evenly on the bottom of the aquarium, using at least 1 oz. (28 g) of FIRST LAYER PURE LATERITE for every U.S. gallon (3.8 L) of aquarium water
- Add about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of gravel on top of FIRST LAYER & mix together
- Add the remaining gravel to the aquarium
- Gently fill the aquarium with water
Established Aquariums:
- Rinse the FIRST LAYER PURE LATERITE

NOTE: Adding FIRST LAYER may cause a harmless, red, cloud that will clear. Thorough rinsing will reduce clouding.
Tip: Aquatic plants require sufficient amounts of iron and potassium to produce lush, green leaves. A lack of iron results in decaying leaves and poor growth; potassium is required by aquarium plants for photosynthesis and maintaining cell pressure. API® LEAF ZONE®, a liquid plant food, is an excellent source of these essential nutrients.
