Setup Tips
When setting up your aquarium with JBL ProScape PlantSoil Brown, consider the following steps:
- Rinse the substrate thoroughly with water before adding it to your aquarium. This helps to reduce dust and cloudiness in the water.
- Spread an even layer of the substrate across the bottom of the aquarium—typically 1-3 inches depending on the height and type of plants you intend to grow.
- Add water slowly to avoid disturbing the substrate layer.
- Introduce your plants carefully, placing roots into the substrate to establish a secure hold.
Maintenance
