• Decreases water hardness (KH)
• Long-lasting granule mantains its quality longer and does not break
• Provides essential plant nutrients for a long period of time
• Crystal clear water due its ability to capture and retain water colloidal particles

• Do not rinse before use
• Spread the substrate evenly, or create your desired layout
• Fill the aquarium with water carefully and slowly. Note: In order to avoid stirring the substrate when filling the aquarium it is recommendable to use a small plate or something comparable to break the water stream.

  • A slight turbidity of the water after setting up the aquarium is normal and will be filtered out shortly after the setup is complete
  • A few hours after the setup is complete the water will become crystal clear
  • Keep the bag closed, prevent the substrate from drying out

The gravel itself is extracted on Sulawesi (one of the largest islands in Indonesia). This region is unique and rich in many specific trace elements and minerals which can also be found in the rock. This mimics the natural habitat of the Sulawesi shrimp to the greatest accuracy. These trace elements and minerals also support the overall health and growth of the shrimp.

The volcanic rock is also very porous. This ensures a good water flow in the soil, which ensures optimum water quality. The porous surface ensures that many good filter bacteria can live on the gravel, which makes the entire bottom into a large aquarium filter. In addition, many good algae and micro-organisms live on the gravel, which benefits the natural and long-term nutrition of the shrimp.

Usage

• Do not wash the gravel before use
• Spread the Sulawesi rock evenly over the bottom
• Fill the aquarium slowly to avoid agitation of the bottom

A real must-have in any Sulawesi (shrimp) aquarium.

SL-aqua more nature black soil is rich in natural organic acids, which ensure that the kH is bound and the pH can naturally drop to approximately 5.5 – 6.5 (depending on the water used). This creates the ideal water values ​​for fish and shrimps (such as Caridina shrimps), which love soft and slightly acidic aquarium water.

This active pH-lowering aquarium soil also contains sufficient nutrients to provide aquarium plants with food during the first six months. These nutrients are naturally occurring in the grain and are specially balanced for use in shrimp aquariums with any amount of aquarium plants.

SL-aqua more nature black soil is the ideal pH-lowering soil for the aquarist who likes to keep everything 100% natural!

Extra information

• The SL-aqua more nature black soil is also suitable in combination with a undergravel filter.
• Not suitable for use in combination with bottom living fish (this can cause permanent turbidity of the water).
• Not for fish, shrimps and crayfish that need a high pH.
• Can make the water cloudy on first use. This will be gone within a few hours in combination with an aquarium filter. Then water will be crystal clear!
• Keep the bag closed to prevent dehydration.

It is recommended to create a bottom layer of soil of at least 4 centimeters. This ensures optimal operation.

Content: available in 1, 3 or 8 liters
Colour: natural black
Grain size: 1.5-3.5 mm

The required amount of soil can be calculated by using this formula:

(aquarium length x aquarium width x soil layer thickness) / 940

So for an aquarium of 60×30 and a 4 cm layer of soil you need:
(60x30x4) / 940 = 7.66 Liter

Although pre-washed, it may be rinsed before use to remove residual dust. Dust can also be minimized by filling aquarium slowly and dispersing water so that the Flourite Sand bed is not disturbed. Slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear rapidly (2–12 hours). To shorten the cloudiness period use Clarity in conjuction with mechanical filtration (such as filter floss).

Hugo kamishi’s Akadama substrates are formed from volcanic clay, traditionally over many years in Japanese culture this substrate was used mostly by expert bonsai growers.
Hugo realised he could utilise this substrate as well to help nurture his watergardens and allow the plant roots really take hold and grow, due to its ability to retain water and nutrients this became hugo kamishi’s immediate choice for his base substrates.

The Akadama substrates provide very good water circulation thanks to its porosity and will also lower the pH and KH within the water too.

How to use :-

First you use a layer of hugo’s Akadama substrate.
Secondary layer – you can use any large grain gravel/plant substrate apx 3-10 mm in size, this becomes a sealing substrate, helping to hold and to not let the nutrients that build escape back into the water column of your aquarium.

Lastly if you wish you top that off with small-size gravel (1-2 mm), soil or aquarium sand for decoration you can let your imagination be free and become creative. Overall this can provide a long-term balance within your water chemistry whilst creating an excellent base for plant root and growth. ultimately turning detritus/waste to plant nutrient on a long-term basis, all at the same time aiding with keeping pristine water conditions and optimal root zones for your plants and your creative masterpiece.
