Collected from the foothills of Mount Aso volcano, Stratum substrates include a powerful mix of nutrients and minerals to nurture healthy plant growth and water conditions.
Supports neutral to slightly acidic pH favored by plants, tropical fish and shrimp
Lightweight, non-compacting granules facilitate strong root development
Available in two unique formats to suit a variety of applications
Stimulates Strong Plant Growth
Stratum substrates contain a proprietary mix of powerful nutrients, minerals and trace elements exclusively available to plants that ensures their healthy development, growth and vibrant colors.
Stratum granules are non-compacting and lightweight, which allows roots to easily develop and access the nutrients locked within them.
Maintains Ideal Water Parameters for Planted Aquariums
Supporting a neutral to slightly acidic pH, Stratum substrates are ideal for live plants as well as tropical fish and shrimp commonly kept in planted aquariums.
Stratum granules provide a natural way to soften water and reduce carbonate hardness (regular KH testing is recommended), all without staining or discoloring aquarium water.
Stratum
Stratum makes an ideal alternative substrate for planted aquariums and those housing freshwater shrimp. It provides newborns with a refuge from predators until they are large enough to emerge.
Fosters Extensive Root Development
• 3-5 mm granule size optimized for plants with larger root systems
• Lightweight, non-compacting format reduces weight load on aquarium glass bottom
• For use as a main substrate or bottom layer in planted aquariums with deep roots networks
