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.

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.
