You can choose between soil with or without additional nutrients. Soil without nutrients is typically used for shrimp aquariums, while soil with nutrients is used for aquascaping aquariums. The choice depends solely on the amount of plant mass present. If you only have a few plants, it is better to use JBL PROSCAPE SHRIMPS SOIL without additional nutrients and, if necessary, add JBL PROSCAPE soil additives for strong roots. However, shrimp lovers with lots of plants can also use the nutrient-enriched JBL PROSCAPE PLANT SOIL. The substances contained are not harmful to shrimp, so nothing stands in the way of perfect plant growth. The decision is therefore determined more by the plants.
It is not possible to make a general statement about the maximum duration of the pH-lowering effect of a soil. The softening and pH-lowering effect depends, among other things, on: a) the amount of soil in relation to the volume of water, b) the initial water values, in particular the carbonate hardness, c) the frequency and extent of water changes carried out.
JBL PROSCAPE SOIL varieties are small pellets made from fired clay. JBL PROSCAPE PLANT SOIL also contains added nutrients, which is why using it as a soil filter causes a strong flow through the soil and thus a strong leaching of nutrients from the soil. This provides a larger amount than the plants usually need, resulting in a surplus. The service life is greatly reduced. The bigger problem is the durability of the firing when used as a filter medium for the soil filter. The pellets are subject to greater wear and tear due to friction and flow. This constant abrasion creates a kind of sludge that rapidly reduces the filter performance. Classic soil types that allow sufficient water flow are suitable for this type of filtration.
