Description
Volcanic rock substrate as stable foundation for rock and root wood constructions: dedicated substrate for aquascaping aquariums.
Basis substrate for natural aquariums: porous volcanic rock ensures water circulation at the bottom.
Supplies plant roots with organic plant nutrients.
Vigorous plant growth: ideal oxygen supply and circulation through open-pored structure. Long-term supply with nutrients and minerals.
Safe foundation, no slipping: volcanic rock becomes firmly interlocked. Ideally suited for a firm foundation.
Contents: 1 bag ProScape Volcano Mineral.
Product Information
| Underwater gardener: | Aquascaping is the term used for designing aquarium landscapes., This is where plant compositions, reproductions of landscapes above water or natural biotopes are created., An aquascaping aquarium contains no or few fish and invertebrates., This way the nutrient supply for plants is reduced and their growth is limited. Nitrogens, phosphorus and other minerals become scarce substances and need controlled and exact re-dosing., For healthy growth in their beautiful underwater landscape the plants need light, CO2 and the right nutrients. |
|---|---|
| Volcanic rock: | The highly porous volcanic rock fulfils important functions in an aquascaping aquarium:, Firstly it forms a stable foundation for further rock constructions and/or root wood, which would otherwise slip downwards through the soil., Secondly many beneficial bacteria settle inside the porous structure., The porousness of the rock structure also enables the nutrient to penetrate it and it thus supplies numerous minerals enabling the plants to take root and grow well inside it., The calculation formula for the right amount of substrate is: length (cm) x width (cm) x height (cm): 1000 = litres JBL ProScape VolcanoMineral. |

JBL ProScape Volcanic Mineral Base Substrate in SG
This porous volcanic rock goes under your main substrate as a base layer, and its open structure does two jobs at once: it keeps water and oxygen circulating through the bottom of the bed, and it gives plant roots a long-term reservoir of organic nutrients to draw on. For Singapore scapers building rock or driftwood layouts, it also forms a stable, free-draining foundation that supports heavier hardscape without compacting into an anaerobic sludge.
That circulation matters more in our warm tanks, where a stagnant, compacted substrate can turn sour faster than in cooler climates and feed nuisance algae or cyanobacteria. A volcanic base layer helps keep the root zone healthy as the scape matures over months. Use it as the foundation beneath aquasoil or a nutrient layer rather than as your top dressing, where you want a finer, plantable surface.
See the full range under substrate. To plan your layering, our layered substrate depth guide and best substrate for planted aquariums guide explain how the levels work together.
