We recommend that you change 25-50% of the water min. twice a week during the first 4 weeks after establishing the aquarium.How do I calculate the quantity of Soil or Soil Powder needed for my tank?Measure your tank’s length and width in cm, for example 90 x 60 cm.Consider the thickness of the bottom layer you want, e.g. 8 cm. Make the layer thicker towards the rear wall for a great visual effect!The calculation to do is length x width x layer divided by 1000.In our example, 90 x 60 x 8/1000 = 43,2 L Soil/Soil Powder needed Safety Warning It is recommended to avoid inhalation of the product, keep it away from children and dispose of it so as to minimize the environmental impact

## Questions & Answers

**Q: It’s so confusing with the naming of the soil as they are so similar. Is this a top layer soil or a bottom substrate? Help**
A: This is layer soil.

**Q: can you put gravel on top of this soil?**
A: Yes you should do really as it’s it quite powdery. I’ve got gravel on top mine and helps it stay down better. You can put the soil in a net bag too. It’s basically a mesh bag with a plastic zip. But only fill them half full so you can shape them.

**Q: I washed this before it went into my tank will it still be ok?**
A: Prob but you will prob need root tabs in to replace the nutrients absorb by the plants you used before
