Tetra Complete Substrates 2.5kg, 5 kg

The Tetra Complete Substrate is a soil concentrate with effective long-term fertiliser for magnificent and healthy plant growth in freshwater aquariums and in various containers available.

Healthy and magnificent plant growth depends on three key factors: in addition to a source of carbon for their photosynthesis and optimal lighting, plants need nutrient-rich soil. This allows a fast and safe rooting of newly inserted plants and provides them with all the necessary nutrients and minerals in the best possible way. A healthy and lush plant growth, especially in a newly established aquarium, limits the nutrient supply for algae so that they are inhibited in their growth from the beginning. A healthy and vigorous plant growth, however, also affects the vitality of your fish: these plants serve as a hiding place and retreat. In addition, they produce vital oxygen in the aquarium and thus contribute significantly to the well-being of your fish! Healthy plants reduce algae nutrients and pathogens and absorb pollutants.

The Tetra Complete Substrate is a ready-to-use ground-based concentrate consisting of a high-quality sand mixture with natural iron content as well as micronutrients and natural black peat with high humic content. The grit size of the soil allows a fast rooting and an optimal nutrient supply. To avoid unwanted growth of algae, no additional nitrates or phosphates are guaranteed. Aquatic plants grow quickly with the Tetra Complete Substrate, thus preventing algae growth during the critical setup phase.

Application: The Tetra Complete Substrate is applied to the aquarium bottom with a layer thickness of 2-4 cm. It is then covered with a layer of Tetra Active Substrates or aquarium gravel approx. 4 cm thick.
