Select and arrange custom-made aquarium , purchase your favorite fish - all this is quite important. However, you should not overlook the creation of a comfortable indoor environment. One of the essential elements of this is the aquarium soil. It must meet the requirements of the fish and plants that live here. The most popular are dark colored primers. All this is due to the fact that dark soils heat up more, and fish and plants love heat very much. Light soils cause some anxiety in fish, and their color lightens. Also, soils should not have sharp objects and should include nutrients necessary for plants.
Perfect for aquarium soil:
- Sand;
- Dark gravel;
- Basalt crushed stone.
If you use pebbles, then further cleaning the aquarium of debris can be difficult, since the fines can enter the hose along with the debris. In order to avoid this, we recommend that you use a hose with a larger diameter or install a filter mesh at its end. It is forbidden to use soil from contaminated areas.
After making an aquarium has been successful, you need to fill it. The first thing that goes into the aquarium is the soil. It is very important to choose the grain of the soil. For example, when laying a pebble, it is necessary to remember that it is not fertile in itself. However, in the future, various organic waste gets between the particles - pieces of food, plants, etc. All this forms compounds useful for vegetation. Until that time, you need to use a special aquarium fertilizer. The soil itself should not impede the circulation of water among its particles. That is why it is recommended to choose particles with a size of 4-6 mm. In the process of life, waste accumulates, as a result of which siltation occurs and rotting occurs. To facilitate the removal of dirt, it is recommended to lay the soil with a slight incline towards the glass.
