More information

Aquarium plants are the green “power stations” of an aquarium. They play several key roles at the same time. Aquarium plants produce oxygen and improve the quality of the water. As a result, aquatic plants help create an appropriate environment for fish. Tetra ActiveSubstrate is a natural substrate which provides a plant-friendly environment and promotes thriving, healthy plant growth. It supports a fast rooting and encourages the settlement of beneficial bacteria. The large surface area and porous structure of the water-neutral clay granules offer various advantages compared to traditional gravel. For example, as it generates 50% more water permeability, Tetra ActiveSubstrate promotes better water circulation, therefore providing the plants with a better supply of nutrients. Tetra ActiveSubstrate also ensures a natural, attractive appearance and prevents substrate compaction. This prevents the plant roots from becoming rotten.
