Dymax Base Soil 3L – Aquahub
Dymax Base Soil is ideal for aquarium plants and essential for high-tech planted tanks. Plants that rely primarily on root feeding will thrive when planted in this soil. The granule size allows good water flow, increasing surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize. The soil naturally lowers water pH and makes the water softer, creating optimal conditions for tropical fish and shrimp. It supplies essential trace elements to support plant growth and enhances root development. The soil maintains its shape and density underwater and does not cloud the water. Natural product with variations in color and size.

Boris Stewart –
I’ve used this soil in my planted tank for three months now. My rooted plants are growing strong and the water remains clear. The pH has stabilized and my shrimp are active. No cloudiness, which was a concern before.
Phil Ellison –
Good for root development. My anubias and java ferns are thriving. The soil holds its structure well and doesn’t break down quickly. Slight variation in color is normal.
Joanne Alsop –
Perfect for a high-tech setup. The bacteria colonization is noticeable after a few weeks. My water parameters have improved, and the plants are more vibrant than before.
