Plant Substrates
Plant substrate is soil that aquarists use to cover the bottom of their tanks. This helps your live plants to develop their roots and absorb nutrients. As a planted aquarium enthusiast just getting started in the hobby, you will need to choose a substrate that is appropriate for the type of plants you are caring for. Depending on your plant choice, you will definitely need to customize your substrate as no tank is the exact same. For suggestions on best plant substrates, please get in touch with our experts. We can help guide you to make the right decision based on your own custom tank setup.
