Description
The Perfect Foundation for Planted Aquariums Nisso products come from a Japanese-based company that prides itself on detail and practicability. Users of Nisso products very quickly become huge fans of their high-quality manufacturing. Nisso Custom Plant Soil is an advanced “adsorption-type” soil that absorbs excess impurities from the water column while providing a stable, nutrient-rich environment.
Unlike competitor soils that require weeks of waiting due to massive ammonia spikes, Nisso releases less than 0.25 ppm of ammonia in the first week.
Key Features:
Nutrient-Rich Composition: Infused with essential nutrients like fulvic and humic acids, Nisso Custom Soil supports vigorous plant growth and overall aquarium health.
Water Parameter Regulation: This soil naturally lowers pH, GH, and KH levels, creating a slightly acidic environment (pH 5.5-6.8) ideal for aquatic plants and shrimp. (Because it is a natural product expect variances)
Bentonite Clay Inclusion: With added bentonite clay, the soil pellets act like sponges, absorbing excess nutrients and promoting beneficial bacterial growth.
Minimal Cloudiness: The substrate’s composition minimizes cloudiness, keeping water clear and allowing immediate use without pre-washing.
Important Usage Instructions (Direct from the Manufacturer):
Do Not Wash: Pour directly into the tank. Rinsing will damage the clay pellets and cause cloudiness.
Do Not Cap: Use as a standalone substrate. Capping with sand or gravel will block its pH-buffering abilities.
Lifespan: Replace every 6 to 12 months. Do not top up over old soil.
Size Guide: By choosing the appropriate package size, aquarists can achieve optimal substrate depth and nutrient availability.
1kg Bag: Suitable for small aquariums or as a top layer in larger setups.
3kg Bag: Ideal for medium-sized tanks, providing ample coverage and depth.
8kg Bag: Designed for large aquariums or those requiring a substantial substrate layer
