## Description

Product Description Made from 100percent natural, mineral-rich volcanic soil from Mount Aso in Japan and infused with beneficial nitrifying bacteria, Bio-Stratum is specifically formulated to provide immediate biological activity and maintain ideal conditions for a thriving planted aquarium. Characterized by its non-compacting 1 mm powder granules, Bio-Stratum allows plants with even the finest and most delicate roots to easily spread throughout the porous substrate while absorbing a powerful mix of nutrients, minerals and trace elements that promote explosive growth and overall health. Directions Ideal for use in smaller freshwater aquariums or as a top layer in larger tanks

Review: Good product - Good stuff, no clouding of water did not rinse, yet to test water as cycling. Added water slowly with cup in bottom of tank to minimise disrupting it, plants seem happy (they were browning when first purchased now green)
Review: Not just for fish also can be used for plants and corms - Does what it says on the description, and also for plants (not just fish tank plants.) Bought this flurval stratum for the plants as Mrs wanted some for her alocasia corms when re sprouting them -worked a treat! And bonus not too expensive and easy to store and use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great substrate
*by D***N on 19 August 2025*

Love this for my planted 105L tank, used about 1.5 bags, didn't get no clouding and i didnt even rinse it but I added water very slowly to the tank. Plants seem to be thriving.
