Product More Details VISUALLY STRIKING BASALT SUBSTRATE FOR DISCERNING USERS - CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES The aquarium substrate plays a crucial role in various life processes within the tank, impacting both the animals and plants residing there. It alters the chemical and biological parameters of the water, influences the growth of flora, and maintains an optimal biochemical equilibrium throughout the entire aquarium. Regrettably, not all aquarists pay adequate attention to the substrate and often select it based solely on its visual appeal. Substrates with numerous granules featuring a porous structure can provide a suitable habitat for certain bacteria, while those with sharp-edged stones can injure bottom-dwelling creatures. Conversely, a substrate lacking sufficient minerals can adversely affect plant growth, potentially leading to their demise despite robust roots. For instance, marble substrate significantly influences the biochemical balance due to its composition, which is rich in calcium compounds, making it unsuitable for planted aquariums. For many, the aquarium substrate primarily serves as a stylistic element designed to enhance the aquarium's aesthetics. Our online store offers a wide variety of substrates, each differing in tone and color, as well as granulation and the shapes of individual stones. A key attribute of Aquael's basalt substrate is its lack of impact on the biochemical balance within the aquarium. This quality contributes significantly to its popularity.
