COLOMBO FLORA BASE PRO FINE 2.5 L

Colombo Flora Base Pro Fine 2.5 L – Technical Nutrient Substrate for Planted Aquariums

FloraBase Pro is a one-of-a-kind nutrient substrate, produced in Japan. Its granules retain their original shape over time without disintegrating, ensuring a stable and homogeneous structure in the aquarium.

Rich in nutrients, its open structure allows for excellent root growth and promotes deep rooting of aquatic plants.

Influence on pH and CO2

FloraBase Pro naturally lowers the pH and keeps it stable around 6. At this value, the naturally present CO2 level in the water is sufficient to ensure optimal growth of aquatic plants.

When the pH is close to 6, CO2 absorption reaches about 80%. If the pH rises above this value, the absorption rate drops rapidly, which can limit plant growth.

Startup and Biological Stability

FloraBase Pro greatly facilitates the startup of a new aquarium. At a pH below 7, ammonium forms predominantly rather than toxic ammonia, contributing to a safer environment for the tank's inhabitants.

Shrimps and Discus, for example, particularly appreciate a pH close to 6 and thrive well on a FloraBase Pro substrate.
