Unique features
Colombo Mano Base is a natural substrate which can be used as a top layer in every aquarium, from beginner to specialist.
As opposed to solid gravel, Mano Base is open and light in particles as well as in structure. The open particles allow rapid and massive colonisation by beneficial bacteria, which are vital for the stability of the water quality.
The open structure allows optimal plant rooting and water penetration so no suffocation of the soil will occur.
As Colombo Mano Base is made out of natural clay sources, it has the beautiful natural look you want in your aquarium. Its particles are rounded and relatively soft, so bottom dwellers won’t damage their soft barbels.
Like clay, Mano Base can store nutrients when these are in excess present in the water, and releases these nutrients again when the levels drop. Thereby Mano Base enables optimal plant growth and thus reduces algae blooming.
