✂️ Usage tips

Apply Flora Base Pro as a substrate layer when setting up the aquarium. Monitor the pH after placement — the substrate gradually lowers the pH to 6. Combine with Colombo Flora Grow Pro and a CO2 system for maximum plant growth in a scape aquarium.

💡 Tip

Ideal for shrimp aquariums — the low pH of 6 and the soft substrate structure are perfect for shrimp such as Crystal Red and Crystal Black that thrive at low pH values.
