JBL ProScape PlantSoil Brown 3L

JBL ProScape PlantSoil Brown is a complete nutrient substrate for planted aquariums and aquascapes. It supplies plants with nutrients and minerals from the start, lowers carbonate hardness to soften the water, and its medium grain size lets oxygen reach the roots for healthy growth.

Key features of the JBL ProScape PlantSoil Brown 3L

• Complete nutrient substrate for planted tanks
• Immediate supply of nutrients and minerals
• Lowers KH and softens the water
• Medium grain size for good root oxygen
• Pack size: 3 litres

Who it suits and quantities

Because the soil gives slightly acidic water with low carbonate hardness, it suits soft-water plants and fish such as tetras and rasboras, but it is not the right base for hard-water species like African rift lake cichlids. To work out how much you need, multiply the length and width of the tank floor in centimetres by the depth you want and divide by 1,000 for litres. For example, a 60 x 30cm tank at 5cm deep needs about 9 litres, or three of these 3 litre bags.

Good to know

Fill the tank slowly after laying the soil, for example over a plate or bag, to avoid stirring up the substrate.
