Aquarium Soil - Best Planted Tank Substrate

While other planted tank substrates have their place, aquarium soil offers a combination of nutrient availability, root health benefits, and a more natural environment, making it our top choice for planted aquariums!

• Nutrient Powerhouse: Unlike inert substrates like sand or gravel, aquarium soil is packed with essential nutrients that plants love to absorb. This encourages healthier, more vibrant plant growth without the need for constant fertilization.
• Root Happy Haven: The structure and composition of aquarium soil create an ideal environment for root development. Plant roots can easily grow through the substrate, allowing them to easily access nutrients and water.
• Natural Benefits: Aquarium soil can contribute to a more natural ecosystem in your tank. It encourages the growth of beneficial bacteria that help break down waste products (AKA poop and dead plants) and contribute to a healthier overall environment for both plants and fish. Some fish species, like bottom feeders, also benefit from the ability to sift through the substrate for food.
