Description

Stratum is an exceptional substrate designed specifically for planted aquariums and freshwater shrimp habitats. Its unique composition fosters an ideal environment for aquatic plants and delicate species, providing young shrimp with safe refuge from predators during their vulnerable stages. The granules, sized at 3-5 mm, are optimized to support extensive root development, particularly for plants with larger or deeper root systems. This lightweight, non-compacting substrate not only reduces the weight burden on the aquarium’s glass bottom but also promotes a healthy and stable ecosystem.

Engineered to maintain optimal water parameters, Stratum supports a neutral to slightly acidic pH, making it an excellent choice for live plants, tropical fish, and shrimp commonly found in planted aquariums. Its natural ability to soften water and reduce carbonate hardness enhances the aquatic environment without causing discoloration. Additionally, Stratum’s proprietary blend of nutrients, minerals, and trace elements provides plants with the essential components needed for robust growth, vibrant colors, and overall vitality. Whether used as a primary substrate or a base layer, Stratum delivers a balanced and thriving underwater habitat for aquarists.
