Key Features of DYMAX Plant Base Soil 3L
- Nutrient‑rich soil that provides essential trace elements for plant growth
- Granule size that allows good water flow and creates extra surface area for beneficial bacteria
- Helps lower pH and soften water, creating a more natural environment for many tropical species
- Supports healthy root development, leading to stronger, more stable plants
- Does not cloud the water when used correctly
- Soil granules maintain their shape and density underwater, resisting breakdown and compaction
How to Use DYMAX Plant Base Soil 3L
- Gently rinse away loose dust if needed (many aquarists use it straight from the bag to preserve nutrients).
- Add a 2–5 cm layer of DYMAX Plant Base Soil 3L to the base of the aquarium, sloping from back to front if desired for depth.
- Hardscape and plant your aquarium, making sure root‑feeding plants are well anchored in the soil.
- Fill the tank slowly to avoid disturbing the substrate; pouring water onto a plate or plastic bag helps keep DYMAX Plant Base Soil 3L in place.
- Run filtration and perform a few small water changes during the first week as the tank stabilises.
- Tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids and other soft‑water fish
- Caridina and Neocaridina shrimp (check specific species requirements)
- Planted community aquariums that prefer slightly acidic, softer water
