Collected from the mineral rich foothills of the famous Mont Aso Volcano in Japan. Fluval
Stratum is the ideal substrate for stimulating the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater
aquariums. Plant roots easily penetrate and spread throughout the substrate allowing plants to
obtain a variety of key readily available nutrients that will make them flourish. The addition
of FLUVAL PLANT MICRO NUTRIENTS will ensure a full complement of essential macro and micro
nutrients. The substrate's light non-compacting porous structure is also highly beneficial to
nitrifying bacteria which rapidly colonize the vast porous surface providing optimal water
quality for plants. Fluval Stratum's inherent properties will help support a neutral to
slightly acidic pH ideal for most plant species and species of tropical fish or shrimp
normally kept in planted aquariums. Fluval Stratum also provides new born shrimp with the ideal
refuge allowing them to escape predation until they are large enough to emerge. This highly
attractive substrate will not discolor water and helps control organic discoloration usually
present when natural driftwood is used. Key Features : Mineral Rich Volcanic Soil Stimulates
