Description

Master Soil Normal  is an advanced, nutrient-rich volcanic soil substrate imported from Japan, specifically formulated to promote rapid root establishment and long-term lush growth in planted aquariums and shrimp tanks. Engineered to naturally buffer water chemistry, it buffers pH down to approximately 6.0–6.5 and reduces General Hardness (GH) and Carbonate Hardness (KH), creating ideal, soft-water conditions for freshwater livestock, tropical plants, and delicate dwarf shrimp species. Unlike traditional aquasoils that cause massive nutrient spikes upon setup, Master Soil is designed to release controlled, low ammonia levels during initial cycling, allowing for safer and faster livestock introduction. Its durable, porous granules trap particulate matter to clarify water without breaking down or mudding over time, making this compact bag the perfect volume for Nano aquariums, smaller aquascapes, or localised planting zones.

Usage & Setup Guide:

  • Dosage & Coverage: Ideal for small or nano tanks under 30 cm in length, or as a targeted top layer for localized plant growth.

  • Preparation: Do not wash or rinse before use. Pour directly into the dry tank and fill water slowly over a barrier (e.g., plastic wrap or a plate) to avoid stirring up granules.

  • Water Buffer Parameters: Naturally buffers pH to 6.0–6.5 and lowers GH/KH.

  • Replacement/Longevity: Maintains structural granule integrity and active buffering capacity for up to 12–18 months.
