Meet Hygger CO2 Upgraded Aquarium Soil, a purpose-built substrate designed for vibrant planted aquariums

This advanced soil blends naturally buffering minerals with a porous matrix to support plant roots, shrimp, and beneficial bacteria while helping keep water chemistry steady over time

What makes it well-suited for planted tanks Maintains a stable pH range of 6

5–7

5, creating a predictable environment for sensitive aquatic life and vigorous plant growth

Harmless to fish and aquatic plants; i for densely planted tanks and shrimp-friendly communities, with routine water changes early on

Porous, soft-textured substrate promotes rapid bio-colonization by beneficial bacteria, supporting a balanced nitrogen cycle and clearer water over time

Natural buffering helps soften water and gently reduce hardness, contributing to a nutrient-rich substrate without abrupt shifts

Fine texture minimizes substrate scattering and keeps nutrients close to plant roots for healthier growth

Setup tips and practices No rinsing required: simply pour directly into the aquarium; washing can remove microorganisms and alter how the soil behaves

During the first 3–5 days after setup, perform daily water changes; aim for at least 3 changes before introducing livestock

Pour slowly, letting water cascade over the substrate to help it settle and reduce disturbance
