Substrate as the basis of the aquarium

A good ground cover is essential in an aquarium. First of all, ground covers give your aquarium a natural and attractive look. This way you create a lifelike environment for the fish and other inhabitants in the aquarium. In addition, the ground cover ensures that the plants can root optimally. Aquarium ground cover also offers space for bacteria that render all kinds of toxic substances harmless.

Different types of aquarium substrate

At Aquariumplantenshop you will find different types of aquarium substrate. Which one is most suitable for your aquarium depends on the plants and fish present in the aquarium. Gravel is ideal for various aquariums. This material is available in fine and coarse versions. If you want a lot of plants in the aquarium, we recommend using gravel with a grain size of 1 to 2 millimeters in combination with a nutrient substrate. This way you ensure the best plant growth. Do you have a fish stock with many fish such as catfish and other bottom fish? In that case, sand is the ideal choice for you. Soil promotes the activity of the bottom life and ensures a biological balance. Aquariumplantenshop offers the choice between the following types of aquarium substrate:
