FB1 SUBSTRATESTART 50g – Active Bacterial Culture for Substrate, Safe Aquarium Start-Up up to 120 Liters
FB1 SubstrateStart 50g is a highly active mixed culture of live bacteria designed to enrich and activate the aquarium substrate, ensuring a quick and safe start-up for planted tanks. Ideal for aquariums up to 120 liters, this biological additive transforms the base layer into a living biofilter that supports root development and promotes a balanced ecosystem from day one.
To use, simply sprinkle FB1 SubstrateStart over the nutrient substrate (such as DeponitMix) before covering it with decorative gravel or sand. Upon contact with water, the bacteria immediately activate and begin colonizing the substrate, breaking down organic matter and converting it into plant-available nutrients. The humus-based bacteria in the blend play a key role in unlocking microelements and maintaining a stable substrate structure.
FB1 SubstrateStart prevents the formation of anaerobic zones, enhances nutrient absorption through plant roots, and supports the early establishment of a beneficial bacterial flora. It is especially suitable for planted aquariums, natural biotopes, and systems that require an active, fertile substrate for long-term success.
