JBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil brown – active substrate
JBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil brown is a natural, active volcanic substrate for aquascaping and planted aquariums. It promotes soft, slightly acidic water, provides support for plant roots and binds suspended particles.
JBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil brown is a natural, active volcanic substrate for planted aquariums and professional aquascapes. The substrate originates from Mount Aso in Japan and supports a near-tropical aquarium environment with soft, slightly acidic water.
The textured grain size provides good anchorage for plant roots and ensures good water flow through the substrate. This allows the roots to be supplied with nutrients, whilst beneficial bacteria find a large surface area on which to colonise. Furthermore, the soil can bind colour-causing substances and turbidity in the water, thereby helping to keep the aquarium water clearer.
Unlike many other soils, JBL ProScape Mount Aso Soil is natural and not enriched with additional nutrients, making it particularly suitable for aquascapers who wish to control fertilisation and water parameters precisely.

Zoo Roco Tip
Active Soil is particularly well suited to aquascapes, shrimp tanks and planted aquariums with species that prefer softer, slightly acidic water. Check the water parameters regularly during the running-in phase, as Active Soil can affect the water chemistry.
