Bio-Stratum: Advanced Substrate for Healthy Aquariums

Bio-Stratum is an innovative substrate infused with dormant bioactive beneficial bacteria that activate upon contact with water. These bacteria accelerate the nitrogen cycle by breaking down waste and rapidly reducing ammonia, ensuring stable water conditions—especially crucial in newly established aquariums. Designed with the needs of aquatic ecosystems in mind, Bio-Stratum offers a robust foundation for healthy aquarium environments.

Engineered for delicate root systems, Bio-Stratum features lightweight, non-compacting granules in a 1–3 mm powder format. This design allows even the finest and most fragile roots to penetrate the porous substrate, promoting robust growth and development. It is an excellent choice as a primary substrate for smaller aquariums and serves effectively as a top layer in larger tanks. To ensure long-term performance and hygiene, Bio-Stratum undergoes a unique curing and heat treatment process that eliminates parasites and extends substrate life.

Bio-Stratum supports ideal water parameters by maintaining a neutral to slightly acidic pH, creating an optimal environment for live plants, tropical fish, and shrimp. The granules naturally soften water and reduce carbonate hardness without staining or discoloring the water, though regular KH testing is recommended for precision. Additionally, Bio-Stratum is enriched with a proprietary mix of nutrients, minerals, and trace elements that are exclusive to plants. This nutrient-rich composition fosters healthy development, vibrant coloration, and sustained plant vitality.

Designed with practicality and ecological balance in mind, Bio-Stratum combines functionality, nutrient delivery, and water condition management. It is an essential component for aquarists seeking a premium substrate to support lush plant growth and thriving aquatic life.
