## Description

Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum, 8.8-Pound

Review: I have been using normal sand in my nano aquarium from about last 1yr or so but now the plant growth started to reduce. This is the reason why I thought to try a substrate. This fluval is good, plants looks healthy now but nothing very exceptional to say. This pack is too much for my nano tank, i have half of the contents left in the packet.
Review: I have been using this soil for several years now . It’s amazing . I had no problem growing any type of aquatic plant in it , as long as I use a good liquid fertilizer. Sharing pictures of my recent dry start nano tank , everything including the buce and anubias) has increased in volume in just 2 weeks . Among aquasoils, I prefer either ADA or fluval. Although, fluval contains less nutrients than ADA desertcartia 2 , it’s better for the following reasons 1. Less nutrients sweep in the water column , resulting in less algae during the initial weeks 2. The soil is jet black (compared to ADA’s brown) which contrast amazingly well with the plants 😍 3. Fluval stratum is generally cheaper than ADA You won’t be disappointed with this one . Good luck and happy planting :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I never received my package**
A: Fluval sent me the wrong size bag one time but when you contact them!
They are excellent in correcting it .

**Q: Will this work in small pots in my tank. I have a gravel tank and a sand tank. Not sure if im ready to go all the way.**
A: Yes it's the size of regular gravel just softer like compressed dirt balls. I put them in small glass bowls and put plants in it.

**Q: How many of the 8.8lbs do I need to get 1.5 inches of substrate in a tank that has a 20x12 foot print?**
A: 20x12 foot print is the footprint of a 10 gallon tank. I used a 8.8lb to get 2" easily. You should be fine getting 1 x 8.8lb bag.

**Q: Hi, is this substrate safe for all types of shrimp?  Thank you**
A: Fluval Plant and Shrimp is pH neutral, therefore with correct water pH is safe for all types of shrimp. It's also vey good for aquatic plants that are needed to create a proper environment for shrimp.
