JBL Manado 5L Natural Substrate

Unlike other nutrient substrates, JBL Manado does not lower the water hardness. Instead, JBL Manado is neutral towards the water and does not release harmful substances into the aquarium.

Key Features:

• Encourages plant root growth: The unique structure of JBL Manado promotes the development of healthy and strong roots.
• Highly porous surface: Provides an ideal environment for the settlement of filter bacteria, enhancing biological filtration.
• Prevents algae growth: Absorbs excess fertilizer from the water, reducing the risk of algae formation.
• Natural aesthetics: The natural color of fired clay complements the green and reddish hues of water plants beautifully.

Benefits of JBL Manado:

JBL Manado is a natural substrate that not only filters the water but also enhances plant growth. Its pore structure promotes effective and rapid colonization by beneficial ground bacteria and cleansing bacteria, which significantly inhibits algae growth right from the start. This reduces the workload on the filter and ensures crystal-clear water.

With its porous composition, JBL Manado supports strong root growth, making it perfect for successful plant care. For optimal results, combining JBL ProFlora AquaBasis Plus as a long-term nutrient substrate with JBL Manado as a covering layer guarantees luxuriant plant growth.

Additional Advantages:

• Nutrient storage: Acts like a battery, storing excess nutrients and releasing them when needed.
• Water neutrality: Does not release unwanted pollutants or hardeners into the aquarium water.
• Fish-friendly design: Rounded granulate grains are gentle on the sensitive barbels of ground-dwelling fish.

JBL Manado is the ultimate choice for aquarists seeking a substrate that supports plant health, ensures water clarity, and complements the natural beauty of their aquarium.
