For any successful Nature Aquarium, the substrate system plays the most important role in determining the success of your layout. It provides all the key nutrients for plant health as well as the crucial ingredients towards making your mini-eco system healthy and long-lived.

This package contains an ideal mix for Nano Aquariums such as the Mini S, the Mini M and other aquariums that are in the 2.5-6 gallon range such as Fluval Edge, Fluval Chi and the Ecoxotic Eco Pico.

Included are:

One 3L bag of Powder Type Amazonia
One Bottle of Bacter 100
One Bottle of Clear Super

Please See Extended Information for details on each of these key components!

• 7 lbs of Amazonia Substrate (3L bag)

Aqua Soil Amazonia:

Amazonia contains the highest amount of organic matter, which ecomes the source of microorganisms and is high in humic acid as well. Amazonia has the highest concentration of nutrients in it of any substrate available on the market and eliminates the need for adding fertilizer tabs into the substrate to boost performance. Amazonia is characterized by its high organic nutrient content and its ability to grow aquatic plants rapidly. Powder type is an extremely fine granule size of Amazonia which still contains all of the same amounts of nutrients as the normal type.

Bacter 100:

Bacter 100 contains more than 100 different types of microorganisms (bacteria) necessary to jumpstart biological filtration for the health of plants, fish and other living organisms in the aquarium's ecosystem. By sprinkling on the base substrate it makes an ideal substrate environment and by applying on top of green algae, it suppresses the growth of this invasive algae. The primary benefit that results from using Bacter 100 is that you have a secondary stage of biological filtration in your aquarium that provides instant access of the biological filtration to the plant roots, enhancing health, stamina and vigor of plants and plant growth.

Clear Super:

Clear Super is made from activated carbon and organic acid which helps with the growth of micro-organisms (supplied by Bacter 100), by sprinkling it on the base of the aquarium with Bacter 100, it promotes the growth of these microorganisms in the substrate and stabilizes the environment in which they live and thrive. You could make the comparison of Clear Super to a healthy food for bacteria which enhances their ability to multiply and thrive in the substrate, and as they grow and thrive in the substrate, the bacteria greater enhances the health of plants through their roots, and fish through the beneficial filtration they provide. It is a perfect symbiotic environment to the success of your nano ecosystem.
