Description

The JBL ProScape Volcano Mineral provides the ideal basis for a beautiful natural aquarium. The porous volcanic rock ensures water circulation in the soil and contributes to the supply of organic plant nutrients to the plant roots. It provides a stable base for additional structures made of stone and/or wooden roots, which would slide further down through the soil. In addition, the perforated structure creates a large surface area that provides space for many beneficial microorganisms to establish themselves. By colonising nitrifying bacteria, for example, the substrate actively contributes to the rapid establishment of a biological balance in the aquarium. Furthermore, the special rock structure offers good penetration possibilities for nutrients and provides many minerals so that plants can root and grow very well in it. JBL ProScape Volcano is rich in minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium and trace elements such as iron, boron or manganese and therefore provides plants with numerous necessary growth substances in a natural way.

As a volcanic rock substrate, Volcano Mineral does not raise GH or KH.

Can you also put a layer of Manado over it? I don't want soil.

Soil doesn't necessarily have to be used as the top layer of the substrate. The big advantage of the coarse substrate is improved circulation. A layer of Manado is light enough to prevent the substrate from compacting, so Manado can also be used without Volcano Mineral.

Can I also sprinkle shrimp gravel 1-2 mm over it? Thanks in advance

Shrimp gravel can also be sprinkled over the Volcano Mineral, but it's likely that the Volcano Mineral will become visible over time.

For higher soil fill-ups I like to use JBL Volcano Mineral. Water-neutral and porous, it makes for the perfect foundation.

Volcano Mineral ein muss

Für den Bodengrundaufbau immer dabei. Nutze ihn jetzt schon sehr lange und nach einer Neueinrichtung verwende ich ihn noch für andere Projekte zum Beispiel in Blumentöpfe als Drainageschicht.
