Powersand "M" with medium granule size for aquariums from 40 cm to 60 cm in height.
|
Power Sand is the base of the Nature Aquarium substrate. Power Sand is composed of porous volcanic stones, to secure proper water circulation, and of organic materials including fertile peat, to provide rich nutrients for aquatic plant roots. Ideal conditions for bacterial activity and development of plant roots are created and maintained for long periods with Power Sand. |

How much Powersand and Aqua Soil is needed for an aquarium:
| tank size |
Power Sand | or Power Sand Special | Aqua Soil |
| 54l-80l / (60x30x35cm) | 1x Power Sand-S | 1x Power Sand-S Special | 1-2x Aqua Soil (9 Liter) |
| 160-220l / (100x40x50cm) | 2-3x Power Sand-M | 1x Power Sand-M Special | 3-4x Aqua Soil (9 Liter) |
| 240-300l / (120x45x45cm) | 3x Power Sand-M | 1x Power Sand-M Special | 4-5x Aqua Soil (9 Liter) |
| 540-680l / (180x60x60cm) | 6-8x Power Sand-L | 1x Power Sand-L Special | 7-9x Aqua Soil (9 Liter) |
Although problems would not appear at early stages, a substrate with only one kind of granule does not provide enough water circulation down to the bottom In a short time. Waste matters from plants and plant roots block the space between granules and obstruct the water circulation.
Water pressure.Some time after setup, water pressure or calcium in the water hardens the substrate. At this time, water circulation within the substrate is obstructed and bacterial activity declines. Such a condition causes problems in root development and growth of aquatic plants. The mixed substrate with Power Sand at the bottom secures good water circulation due to the shape and size of the granules. Even when aquatic plants have been growing for long periods and waste matter accumulates, Power Sand composed of porous volcanic stones maintains proper water circulation.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PLANT ROOTS AND BACTERIA WITHIN THE SUBSTRATE
Oxygen- Sufficient supply of oxygen is vital for aerobic bacteria. Insufficient oxygen prompts the activity of anaerobic bacteria which produce toxic substances such as nitrous acid.
Nutrients in Power Sand- Nutrients contained in Power Sand are slowly dissolved and absorbed by plant roots.
Fertilizer in the substrate- Organic matter in Power Sand or other bottom fertilizers such as Multi Bottom or Iron Bottom, can be absorbed by aquatic plants, only when they are broken down to inorganic matter by bacteria.
Fertile peat- Works effectively to stimulate the establishment of association between bacteria and aquatic plants.

Green Brighty Step 1 - 250 mlEin ausgeglichenes Vorkommen von Spurenelementen ist lebensnotwendig in der Startphase, um das Sprießen von neuen Wurzeln und Trieben zu stimulieren. Hier ist jedoch kein Stickstoff, Phosphor und Kalium enthalten, da diese Elemente in der frühen Phase nach dem Einrichten das Algenwachstum fördern könnten. Der Nährstoffbedarf der Pflanzen ist noch sehr niedrig und kann diese Elemente noch nicht verarbeiten. |
 |
Brighty K - 250 mlIn den meisten Aquarien liegt eine Unterversorung von Kalium vor. Dieses Element ist in Verbingung mit anderen Nährstoffen jedoch für das Wachstum der Wasserpflanzen sehr wichtig. Eine regelmäßige Beigabe von Brighty K nach dem Wasserwechsel ist außerdem sehr effektiv zur Neutralisation von Chlor im Leitungswasser, was einer Vergiftung der Aquarienfische vorbeugt. |

Green Gain - 50 mlStemmed plants require frequent trimming. Stress that plants receive at trimming sometimes restrains their growth. Green Gain contains active ingredients (trace elements, minerals, amino acid etc.). Among other various botanical hormones, Green Gain includes cytokinin which, extracted from natural materials, eases plant stress and increases the resistance of aquatic plants against diseases. |
