VISUALLY ATTRACTIVE BASALT SUBSTRATE FOR DEMANDING USERS - CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
The aquarium substrate has a huge impact on many life processes in the aquarium tank and includes both the animals and plants living there. It changes the chemical and biological parameters of the water, affects the development of flora, and ensures an optimal biochemical balance in the entire tank. Unfortunately, not all aquarists pay enough attention to the aquarium substrate and choose the substrate solely based on its aesthetic value. Products with a large number of granules with a porous structure can be a suitable place for some bacteria to settle, while substrates with sharp-edged pebbles can hurt bottom animals. On the other hand, a substrate that is too poor in minerals can negatively affect the growth of plants, and in extreme cases even lead to their death despite strong roots. For example, marble substrate has a strong effect on biochemical balance due to its characteristics, as it contains a lot of calcium compounds. This means that it should not be used in plant aquariums.
For most people, aquarium substrate is mainly a stylistic element that is supposed to improve the aesthetics of the aquarium. Our online store offers all types of substrates. They also differ in tone and color. They also have different granulation and different shapes of individual pebbles.
The basic feature of the Aquael brand basalt substrate is its zero impact on the biochemical balance in the tank. This is a great advantage, which at the same time influences its popularity. Basalt gravel can be used in almost every freshwater aquarium, as it is characterized by the greatest possible versatility. Thanks to this, it is used by both beginner hobbyists and professional exhibitors. As a rule, basalt is a material with quite sharp edges, which can hurt bottom-dwelling fish. However, the basalt substrate available in our online store is completely safe thanks to its machined and rounded edges.
The greatest influence on biochemical balance is the correct substrate, because practically all substrates, including basalt, are completely sterile and devoid of most essential minerals. To replenish the deficiencies, substrates are used, which are scattered directly under the visible basalt substrate. This prevents their movement into the water, and at the same time ensures proper rooting and fertilization of plants. Substrates effectively improve the quality of aquarium flora and its living conditions, and can also prevent the development of unfavorable bacteria living in aquarium tanks in some cases.
One of the most important features of the basalt substrate offered by Aquael is its style, which is unmatched by most aquarists. This substrate is distinguished by its deep, strongly saturated black color - it wonderfully highlights the colors of intensely colored fish and other aquatic creatures. It highlights their characteristic appearance and makes them visually better nourished, they also look healthier and better cared for. Many people consider the basalt substrate to be the best on the market, because it perfectly combines the lack of impact on the biochemical balance of water with an unusual, very luxurious style.
