Planted AQUA SOIL has the great feature of promoting the growth of aquatic
plants because it contains rich organic nutrients. These organic nutrients
serve as a source of nutrition for aquatic plants but at the same time, it can
contaminate the aquarium water if they are excessively present in the water.
During the initial stage of an aquarium when the filtration system is still
new and aquatic plants are just planted, the water easily gets dirty because
the amount of organic matter released from planted Aqua Soil is more than the
amount being broken down by microorganisms and absorbed by aquatic plants.
Therefore, it is very important to change the aquarium water with the intent to
get rid of excess organic matter. Particularly in the first week after the
setup of the aquarium, it is advised to change 1/2 to 1/3 of the aquarium water
daily. In the second week, it is preferable to change the aquarium water at
the frequency of once every two days. If this pattern of water change cannot
be achieved, the aquarium water should be changed as close as possible to the
frequency of the pattern mentioned.
Water change during the first two to three weeks from the initial setup of
the aquarium is a key to a successful planted aquarium. The efforts made
during this period will be rewarded in the form of healthily grown aquatic
plants.For planted aquarium materials www.aquariumprofessionals.in
