Safe substrate
for bottom dwellers.
The open structure allows optimal rooting of the plants and water penetration, so there is no suffocation of the soil. As Colombo ManoBase is made from natural clay sources, it has the beautiful natural look you want in your aquarium. The particles are rounded and relatively soft, so that bottom dwellers will not damage their soft barbels.
Like clay, ManoBase can store nutrients when they are present in excess in the water, and release these nutrients when the level drops. Thus ManoBase enables optimal plant growth and reduces algae blooms.
