ELOS - Terra Brown Medium 9L Soil

ELOS Terra is a pure and natural material that is collected in a prehistoric hydrogeological basin. It is selected and sieved by hand and then sterilized to offer the ideal characteristics for the cultivation of the most delicate aquatic plants. Thanks to the use of a special treatment, its natural characteristics are perfectly preserved.

In this way, aquatic plants will immediately find an ideal environment to grow and develop in the aquarium. In addition, ELOS Terra influences the characteristics of the water by retaining the suspended particles, reducing the level of KH and GH thus creating the typical characteristics of the natural basins of the Tropics, making the use of osmosis water useless.
The bottom of tropical streams and rivers is composed of a porous and soft substrate where the delicate roots of aquatic plants find a perfect home and an ideal habitat for their growth. Up to now, in the aquarium dedicated to the cultivation of plants, mixtures of mineral rocks of various components and granulometries have been used. The maintenance and breeding of the most delicate species were exclusive to a few enthusiasts who prepared their own mixtures for the bottom and were hardly willing to disclose them.
