Made from volcanic ash, Neo Soil features a unique 2-layer structure with a brown core and black outer layer. This design promotes slightly acidic water, buffers pH, and enhances nutrient absorption, making it ideal for fostering healthy plant growth or supporting shrimp ecosystems. The Plants version of Neo Soil is specially formulated to encourage lush, complete carpeting plant growth within just two months, without the need for additional fertilizers or additives. Meanwhile, the Shrimps version is enriched with humic acid and microelements, improving water quality, enhancing nutrient absorption, and boosting shrimp spawn survival. This formulation also promotes vibrant colors and healthy shell formation, making it ideal for species like Caridina, Neocaridina, and Sulawesi shrimps. Neo Soil's micropore structure provides a stable environment for beneficial microbes, aiding in the cycling process for new tanks. Additionally, its enhanced absorption capabilities efficiently remove pollutants from the water column, helping to maintain a cleaner, healthier aquatic environment for both plants and shrimp. Review: Excellent Aquasoil for Aquariums! - I've started using a 1.5 lb bundle of this aquasoil into the bottom of my planted outdoor pond with a number of unusual plants, but also began to use small portions of it to supplement my struggling plants in indoor tanks and the result from two ounces of this applied over the rooting areas was MAGNIFICENT. Since then, I have kept an amount of this aquasoil on hand for either helping to settle new plants into my established tanks with two or three ounces of it applied right over the root base before tucking it lower with forceps or a long wooden applicator in deep tanks or simply setting up all new tanks from that point with a layer of an inch of this soil under a gravel or sand. This aquasoil I've used to establish a new 40 gallon and will vouch for using to set up any tanks from nano to large sized. Review: Great - Soil is the light brown circles, I put a layer of black sand over soil. ## Features - Volcanic Soil - Neo Soil, made of volcanic ash, features a compact 2-layer design with a brown core and black outer layer.
