Collected from the mineral rich foothills of the famous Mont Aso Volcano in Japan and infused with beneficial nitrifying bacteria, Bio-Stratum is specifically formulated to provide immediate biological activity and maintain ideal conditions for a thriving planted aquarium. Characterized by its non-compacting 1 mm powder granules, Bio-Stratum allows plants with even the finest and most delicate roots to easily spread throughout the porous substrate while absorbing a powerful mix of nutrients, minerals and trace elements that promote explosive growth and overall health.
The nitrifying bacteria have been conditioned to enter a dormancy phase prior to packaging that allow them to survive in dry conditions. Once the substrate is added to your aquarium water, the bacteria awaken.
First, measure your tank’s length and width in cm – for example, 90 x 60 cm. Then, consider the thickness of substrate you want – for example, 8 cm. The amount of Bio-Stratum you need (in kg) is equal to length x width x thickness divided by 1000. In our example, 90 x 60 x 8 / 1000 = 43.2 kg of Bio-Stratum needed.
We recommend gently rinsing Bio-Stratum in a large colander or similar device without agitating the substrate to remove fine dust particles.
