Nisso Custom Aquarium Soil for Plants | Black

The Perfect Foundation for Planted Aquariums 

Nisso products come from a Japanese-based company that prides itself on detail and practicability. Users of Nisso products very quickly become huge fans of their high-quality manufacturing. Nisso Custom Plant Soil is an advanced “adsorption-type” soil that absorbs excess impurities from the water column while providing a stable, nutrient-rich environment.

Unlike competitor soils that require weeks of waiting due to massive ammonia spikes, Nisso releases less than 0.25 ppm of ammonia in the first week.

Key Features:

• Nutrient-Rich Composition: Infused with essential nutrients like fulvic and humic acids, Nisso Custom Soil supports vigorous plant growth and overall aquarium health.
• Water Parameter Regulation: This soil naturally lowers pH, GH, and KH levels, creating a slightly acidic environment (pH 5.5-6.5) ideal for aquatic plants and shrimp.
• Bentonite Clay Inclusion: With added bentonite clay, the soil pellets act like sponges, absorbing excess nutrients and promoting beneficial bacterial growth.
• Minimal Cloudiness: The substrate’s composition minimizes cloudiness, keeping water clear and allowing immediate use without pre-washing.

Important Usage Instructions (Direct from the Manufacturer):

• Do Not Wash: Pour directly into the tank. Rinsing will damage the clay pellets and cause cloudiness.
• Do Not Cap: Use as a standalone substrate. Capping with sand or gravel will block its pH-buffering abilities.
• Lifespan: Replace every 6 to 12 months. Do not top up over old soil.

Size Guide: By choosing the appropriate package size, aquarists can achieve optimal substrate depth and nutrient availability.

• 1kg Bag: Suitable for small aquariums or as a top layer in larger setups.
• 3kg Bag: Ideal for medium-sized tanks, providing ample coverage and depth.
• 8kg Bag: Designed for large aquariums or those requiring a substantial substrate layer
