Ground substrate    

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.

The fine granulation of the substrate facilitates the laying out of aquatic plants and gives them a strong root hold. This reflects in the improvement of nutrients supply. The plants will be stronger and more attractive.

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.
