There are various types of aquarium substrate, each with its own characteristics and benefits. The most suitable substrate depends on the inhabitants of your aquarium and the type of setup you have in mind.
Active substrates are ideal for aquariums with live plants. They contain nutrients that stimulate root growth and help stabilise water values. An example is Tetra Active Substrate, a light, porous substrate that is beneficial for useful bacteria and ensures good water circulation within the substrate.
Aquarium gravel is a commonly used and versatile substrate. Gravel is available in various colours and textures and is particularly suitable for aquariums with fish that have minimal substrate requirements. Boon Gravel Marble Chips give the aquarium a fresh, decorative look and are easy to keep clean.
Aquarium sand is often chosen for a natural look and is very suitable for bottom-dwelling fish such as catfish and cichlids. Fine sand feels soft and helps prevent damage to sensitive mouths and barbels. Aqua Aquarium Sand River imitates a natural riverbed and creates a calm, authentic appearance.
Whichever substrate you choose, it is important to consider the needs of your fish and plants. With the right aquarium substrate, you lay a healthy foundation for a clear, stable and beautiful aquarium.
