AF Lava Soil Black is a natural volcanic substrate ideal for freshwater aquariums, carefully designed to promote optimal plant growth. Enriched with essential minerals, it gradually releases nutrients into the water, supporting robust plant development. Its high porosity facilitates the proliferation of beneficial microorganisms, aiding in the overall health and balance of the aquatic ecosystem.

The substrate's structure assists in rooting aquatic plants effectively while preventing anaerobic zones, thereby reducing the risk of harmful hydrogen sulfide production. With enhanced water circulation through the substrate, it offers balanced nutrient distribution, improving absorption by plants. Although initially causing slight water haziness, this non-harmful condition dissipates naturally within about 12 hours. Given its rich mineral content, a reduction in micronutrient fertilizers is advised for the first six months after setup to avoid potential nutrient accumulation.

Key Features:

• Natural volcanic lava substrate enriched with minerals.
• Supports beneficial microorganism growth and plant health.
• Improves water circulation and nutrient absorption.
• Helps prevent harmful anaerobic zones.
• Initial water haziness clears naturally within 12 hours.

For aquarium enthusiasts seeking a reliable substrate that both nourishes plants and supports a healthy aquatic environment, AF Lava Soil Black stands as a top choice. Its consistent performance in maintaining water quality and plant vitality significantly enhances aquarium upkeep and enjoyment.
