Aquaclay^®Ground   
                            
Apart from selecting a proper filtration system, the ground substrate is the next most important element for a successful maintenance of aquariums and ponds.

Research shows that the water flow  through the ground is very important for the growth of aquatic plants. A higher or better flow of water through the substrate causes the temperature from the root to the leaves to be equally distributed. Simultaneously a sufficient nutrient basis is present.

The substrate should have an optimal granulation of 1 to 4 mm for aquariums and maximum 10 mm for ponds, bearing in mind that the ideal height of the ground substrate should be 80 mm.

In garden ponds Aquaclay^® Ground  will be used in the same way. Aquaclay^® F 4-10 is also recommended as ground substrate for garden ponds. The large settlement of bacteria will help to break down the pollutants. The outcome will be a clear water and a slow down of the algae growth.
