Ideal for aquatic plants, bee shrimp, etc., maintaining a soft water environment. Absorbs pigments of driftwood and phosphoric acid that causes moss with the power of natural soil.

Features,
● Natural water quality adjustment function friendly to aquatic plants and fish!
● Reduce pH / kH to create a weakly acidic soft water environment!
● Strongly absorbs pigments from driftwood!
● Maintain highly transparent water for a long time!
● Faster the rise of water and multiply filtered bacteria!

Grain size (approx.),
1.0-2.0mm

Directions For Use,
● Lay it in a water tank without washing the soil, and pour water gently. Pour slowly so as not to dig up the soil.
● Water becomes cloudy when set. By operating the filtration device, it takes about 1-2 hours.
● The surface may be covered with water, but there is no problem with water quality. You can easily remove it by scooping it on the net or aerating it.

Estimated Usage,
45cm water tank (about 35L): 6-8L
60cm water tank (about 57L): 8-11L
90cm water tank (about 157L): 24-32L

To Note,
* Since this product has the effect of lowering pH and KH, avoid using it together with filter media or water quality regulators that hinder this effect.
* There is a small air hole in the package of this product. In the case of super powder, fine particles may come out of the hole. Please note.
* Please make sure to take time to adjust the water with the living body.
* Please note that we do not compensate for any diseases or deaths of living organisms or withering of aquatic plants.

■ Important ■
Immediately after setting the soil floor, the water quality may be unstable or nitrite may be detected. After setting, be sure to operate the filter and confirm that the filtration is working properly before introducing the living body. In addition, durable aquatic plants such as hygrophylla are effective to speed up the stability of water quality.
At the beginning of the set, bubbles may be difficult to disappear, but are harmless to the living body.
As it disappears in a few days, there is no problem in using it.

Estimated amount of water used in main standard water tanks
30cm cube water tank: about 0.9 liter per 1cm thickness
45 × 30 × 30cm water tank: about 1.3 liter per 1cm thickness
60 × 30 × 36cm water tank: per 1cm thickness 1.8 liter
90 × 45 × 45 cm water tank: about 4 liters per 1 cm thickness
120 × 45 × 45 cm water tank: about 5.4 liters per 1 cm thickness

* Sand-based products are generally sorted by sieves, but long and narrow grains may be larger than the stated grain size. Please note.

※ As it is a natural material, garbage such as plants and wood chips may be contained. When using, remove it with a scoop.
* Because it is a natural material, the grain size may vary slightly depending on the lot even for the same product. Please note.
* In the case of gravel, most of them are marine products, so shells and coral debris may be mixed in.
Shells and corals have the effect of raising the pH, so if you raise a living body that prefers an extremely low pH, or if you are worried about it, use it after acid treatment.

JUN Platinum Soil Brown Super Powder for Detailed Foregrounds

The brown super powder is the finest Platinum Soil in the warm earth tone, made for the smoothest foreground carpets and tightly detailed nano scapes. The soft brown colour suits naturalistic layouts and lets green carpets and reddish shrimp stand out. As an active soil it conditions water to the soft, slightly acidic side, dovetailing with Singapore’s naturally soft tap water and supporting the demanding plants this grade targets.

Because the grain is so fine, lay a thin and level bed and rely on flow to keep it oxygenated rather than mounding it deep where it compacts. The 1, 3 and 8L sizes make it easy to buy just enough for a small footprint. Expect the early ammonia release typical of active soils, cycle fully before adding livestock, and give shrimp time. Ongoing column dosing maintains heavy planting after the initial nutrient surge eases.
