Safety Guidelines:

1. Please carefully read the instructions before usage.
2. DO NOT use it with fish medicine, as our company will not be liable for aquatic deaths resulting from improper use.
3. A slight water discoloration may occur due to chemical components, which can be rectified by changing the water several times.
4. The product is intended solely for raising aquatic life and is NOT edible.
5. Keep the product out of reach of children.
6. Store at room temperature and seal when dry.

How to Use:

1. No need to wash the product before use.
2. Spread the aquascaping soil evenly at the aquarium’s bottom to create a substrate layer. The depth should match your aquarium size and plant type, typically 6-8cm.
3. Create small holes in the substrate for plant roots, leaving enough space between each plant for growth.
4. Slowly fill the aquarium with water after placing plastic sheets, being careful not to disturb the substrate layer.
5. After nitrification is established, add your fish and other aquatic creatures. Monitor water quality regularly for a healthy ecosystem.
6. To maintain the aquascape, regularly prune plants and remove debris. Additional fertilizer may be needed for healthy plant growth.

FAQ:

1. Difference with Other Brands:

   • Chihiros aquatic plant soil excels in resisting disintegration, ensuring durability. It’s designed for enthusiasts experimenting with aquarium setups.

2. Acidity and Water Softening:

   • Yes, it can lower acidity and soften water due to its pH buffering technology and high cation exchange rate.

3. Water Purification:

   • The soil, with its porous structure, acts like activated carbon, adsorbing large particles and maintaining water clarity.

4. Initial TDS Increase:

   • After setup, TDS may temporarily increase due to added minerals. After water changes, it stabilizes.

5. Nutrient Content:

   • High cation exchange capacity indicates soil fertility. It’s not a fertilizer but a buffering system in the aquarium ecosystem.

6. Tank Setup Maintenance:

   • During the initial setup, prevent extreme events by changing water every three days. After plant growth, regular water changes are suitable.

7. Shrimp or Plant Use:

   • It can serve as substrate for shrimp or aquatic plants, but wait for water stability before adding shrimp.

8. Fertilizer Addition:

   • No additional fertilizers are needed initially. Potassium fertilizer may be added after plant growth, and a comprehensive liquid fertilizer after six months.

In conclusion, good aquatic soil should resist disintegration, have high cation exchange capacity, and require proper fertilization. Claims of a year without additional fertilization are likely misleading.
