JBL Manado DARK

JBL Manado DARK
Dark natural substrate for aquariums

• Optimal for plant care in freshwater aquariums. Its porous structure promotes root growth. Suitable for burrowing fish
• Nutrient buffer with high iron content. Can absorb excess nutrients and release them as needed. High iron content can be absorbed by plant roots
• Activates soil flora by promoting effective and rapid colonization of beneficial soil bacteria. This curbs unwanted algae growth, reduces the load on the filter and makes the water crystal clear
• Emphasizes the colorfulness of the fish due to its dark brown coloration, which highlights the colors of the fish and creates a harmonious overall picture with the green and red tones of the plants
• Ready-to-use substrate that should be rinsed once in tap water before use. Available in various packaging sizes

Successful plant care: 
The natural substrate activates the soil flora and is optimal for plant care. The nutrient buffer with battery effect (releases nutrients until depleted and can be recharged by top dressing) is water neutral & rounded. This makes it ideal for burrowing fish species such as catfish and loaches. 

Combination with long-term nutrient medium: 
Supplementing with JBL ProFlora AquaBasis plus as a long-term nutrient medium with JBL Manado Dark as a top layer ensures vigorous and healthy plant growth even for very demanding plants. 

Application: 
Rinse briefly with lukewarm tap water before use to remove abrasion caused by transport.
