• 5.7 lb (3 L)
• 17.6 lb (9 L)

TNA Aquarium Soil is a clay-based planted aquarium substrate designed to support aquatic plant growth while maintaining soft, stable water conditions. It is suitable for planted freshwater aquariums and shrimp systems where controlled nutrients and predictable structure are preferred.

This soil is used in our own fish room systems and shown running with established plant growth.

Size Options

5.7 lb (3 L)
Suitable for nano aquariums, small planted tanks, or targeted planting areas.

17.6 lb (9 L)
Suitable for medium to large planted aquariums or full substrate coverage.

Key Characteristics

• Clay-based aquasoil formulated for planted aquariums
• Supports root development and plant establishment
• Buffers water mildly toward acidic conditions around pH 6.5
• Appropriate for softwater shrimp and freshwater fish
• Maintains structure without rapid breakdown or compaction
• Designed for use in CO₂-injected and non-CO₂ planted tanks

Water Chemistry Impact

pH
Tends to buffer toward mildly acidic conditions (approximately pH 6.5)

KH
May reduce slightly in softwater setups

Compatible with
• Caridina shrimp
• Neocaridina shrimp
• Softwater freshwater fish
• Planted aquariums with or without CO₂ injection

Longevity and Maintenance

Typical functional lifespan is approximately 18 to 24 months, depending on plant density, stocking level, and maintenance routine. Nutrients may be supplemented over time with root tabs as needed.

Notes

This substrate is intended for planted aquarium use and performs best when paired with appropriate lighting, stocking, and maintenance practices.
