Why is healthy plant growth so important for the aquarium?
Aquarium plants are not only decorative, offering aquarium inhabitants natural hiding places and shelter but they also influence the biochemical processes positively, thus ensuring an optimum biological balance in the aquarium.
Plants:
- Create the vital oxygen for fish and microorganisms during the daytime.
- Help to biologically clean the water, breaking down pollutants.
- Inhibit the growth of algae, out competing it for nutrients.
For these reasons, it is vitally important that you give your plants a good substrate to grow in.
Deponit Mix Professional long-term mineral substrate for all planted aquariums. It has been specially developed for use with quartz gravel.
- Fine-grain basalt granulate creates an optimal substrate climate.
- Concentrated nutrient iron in depot form ensures lush green leaves.
- Selected clay minerals (montmorillonite) regulate the nutrient balance: they release nutrients when needed and absorb them when there is an oversupply.
- Humid-rich natural peat provides a slightly acidic substrate environment and breaks down nutrients in a way that is suitable for plants.
- Highly porous lava granulate promotes the natural bio-filter function of the substrate: For better water quality and healthier fish.
- Naturally moist mixture – clay minerals and humus substances are already fully effective. Humus and filter bacteria do not dry out and are immediately biologically active.
- Highly effective thanks to a professional nutrient formula. For a quick start of all aquarium plants.
All nutrients and trace elements are in depot form with immediate and long-term effects. Deponit Mix Professional ensures safe growth and strong root formation, even with sensitive species. The nutrient medium contains no additional phosphates and nitrates and therefore will not encourage algae.
Guaranteed safe for all plants, fish, shrimp, crayfish, snails, and other aquarium inhabitants.
