Setup Instructions
-
Layer 1 (The Base): Spread a layer of this nutrient substrate evenly on the bottom of your empty aquarium (approx. 2-4 cm deep). Do not rinse this product.
-
Layer 2 (The Cap): Cover completely with a layer of rinsed aquarium gravel or sand (approx. 3-5 cm deep).
-
Fill: Place a plate or plastic bag over the gravel to prevent disturbing the layers while filling with water.
Pro Tip: Never mix this nutrient layer with the top gravel layer. Keeping them separate prevents nutrient spikes in the water column and keeps your water crystal clear.
