Substrate – the most important things at a glance
The substrate not only provides support for the plants, but also has an influence on the water in your aquarium and at the same time represents an important source of food for many creatures. A basic distinction is made between active substrates, which influence the water chemistry, and inactive, i.e. neutral substrates. Active substrates, such as soil, contain many nutrients and lower the pH and carbonate hardness of the water, which is particularly beneficial for soft water species and plants. Inactive substrates such as sand or gravel remain chemically neutral and therefore do not affect the water. Depending on the fish species and the requirements of the plants, a combination of both types can also be useful. When buying, you should make sure that the substrate has no sharp edges that could injure the fish and that it is absolutely suitable for aquariums.
