AquaSoil is designed to provide a natural and aesthetically pleasing environment for plants and aquatic life, while also providing nutrients and encouraging healthy plant growth. AquaSoil is a type of soil-based substrate that is composed of a mixture of peat, coconut coir, and other organic materials. It is usually used in planted aquariums and terrariums, and can be mixed with other types of substrates such as gravel or sand to create a custom planting environment. AquaSoil is known for its ability to maintain a stable pH and provide essential nutrients to plants, and its texture makes it easy for plant roots to establish and grow.
