Our Secret To Growing Fabulous Plants....

Seachem Flourite Substrate

Fracted Porous Clay Substrate for the Natural Aquarium

Flourite is a specially fracted stable porous clay gravel for the natural planted aquarium. Although it may be mixed with other gravels, Flourite is best used as an integral substrate bed. Any mixture should be at least 50% Flourite. Gravel modifiers such as "Laterite" are not necessary. Flourite is not chemically coated or treated, and will not alter the pH of your water. Although prewashed, it should be rinsed before use to remove residual dust. Slight initial cloudiness is normal and will clear rapidly. Each 7kG (15.4 lb) bag is sufficient for about a 2 inch deep bed in a typical 10 gallon tank. Recommended use is 1 kG for about each 31 inches of tank bottom.

To calculate shipping weight, figure each bag weighs about 17lbs

If you require this substrate to install your plants, you may want to consider waiting to order your plants until you receive this product as we ship this item via FedEx Ground.  Plant shipments are shipped via FedEx Express.  Ground shipments can add up to a week for delivery.

Seachem Onyx Sand Substrate

Onyx

Following in line with the tremendous success we have seen with Flourite™, SeaChem has investigated other possible substrates for aquariums. We are now proud to offer Onyx Sand™. Naturally sourced fracted substrate for both saltwater and freshwater aquaria. Onyx Sand™ is exceptionally concentrated in iron and supply other important nutrients such as magnesium and manganese. Gravel modifiers such as laterite are therefore not necessary. Though very effective for freshwater planted aquaria, Onyx Sand™ is useful in all aquarium applications including saltwater, reef, or African cichlid aquaria. Additionally, Onyx Sand™ provides a slight buffering capability that works to stabilize pH for the long term success of any aquatic environment.

AAG Super Peat Granules

Peat Granules are a select granular peat ideal for use in freshwater aquariums. This concentrated, safe, natural filter media provides optimal water conditions for many species of fish originating from specific tropical environments. Many species of fish can benefit from the compounds found in Peat Granular. Examples include species of South American Cichlids (Angelfish, Discus, Apistogramma etc.), Corydoras Catfish, Tetras, Gouramis and Barbs. Peat Granular releases beneficial elements and will contribute to vibrant colors, enhanced breeding success, and superior conditions for a variety of fish species that thrive in soft acidic water. It is recommended to verify the desired pH and KH levels by testing with a pH and KH test kits on a regular basis. Peat Granules are a concentrated filter media and will initially reduce pH and KH levels at a quicker rate than fibrous peat. The recommended KH range is 50 to 120 mg/L (approx. 3 to 7 dKH to support safe, stable pH levels) for proper maintenance of certain species of fish. The replacement of Peat Granular media is determined by testing and the diminishing effect it has on pH and KH levels.

Our AAG Super Peat Granular offers a highly effective, natural method to soften water and achieve proper pH values for many tropical fish. Use to control, manipulate and satisfy the breeding requirements of many softer water, lower pH loving, ornamental tropical fish and is known to promote luxurious live plant growth.  We suggest replacing 1 time monthly to bimonthly, or when your pH begins to rise.

Root Therm low-wattage Substrate Heater

This is a complete system!  No other parts are required to make this unit work!   You'll want to start with a bare bottom tank (no substrate) and place suction cup cable holders (comes with
6 to 10 suction cups) to bottom of tank, route all of your cables similar to that of your electric oven coils.  Now, add your substrate, plug the supplied AC Adaptor into the heating cable ends and plug it into the wall. SIMPLE!
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE ON THE MARKET THAT'S BETTER PRICED THAN THIS GREAT SYSTEM!
Aquatic plants will display healthy growth if they are provided with "warm roots" - similar to the conditions they enjoy in their natural environment.  A temperature differential between the substrate and the water induces water circulation, which prevents the formation of stagnant areas and the build up of undesirable by-products within the substrate.

Regular aquarium heating i.e. thermostat controlled water heaters, will keep the water above the substrate at a stable temperature however the temperature of the substrate and the plants roots will always be below the water temperature.  Substrate heating is therefore the logical solution for maintaining a positive temperature differential, enabling optimum plant growth and vitality.

Complete aquarium heating (water and substrate) is best achieved by combining a standard aquarium heater-thermostat (see ViaAqua heater available below) for the water with the Root Therm, a low voltage and affordable substrate heating system.

The warmth provided by the Root Therm results in gentle water circulation, thus allowing optimum root growth and providing a sound basis for a successfully planted aquarium.

Hydor ETH In-Line Heater

 
This is a Simple and Ideal way to Heat your aquarium water!
ETH 300 In-Line Heater UL Listed for 16mm & 5/8" Hose


External thermal heater which includes the PTC system. Suitable for all external canister filters

The Hydor ETH in-line external heater is designed for vertical use in most aquarium applications involving water hose of the specified diameter. The ETH must be used in a vertical manner for correct operation. The most common application is for use with canister filters, however the ETH is easily adapted for use in almost any situation where heated aquarium water is required, such as with wet/dry sump pumps. The ETH is easily installed by cutting the tubing and connecting the two parts of the tube to each side of the ETH. For reduced maintenance, it is recommended that the ETH be installed within the filter's output assembly. As most canister filters are not designed to bear weight, it is recommended that the ETH be properly supported by the use of the attached loop to avoid stress on the output assembly. The ETH is completely safe and UL Listed. There is no danger of damage if the ETH is left running dry for short periods as the ETH will switch itself off in that event. The ETH heats with high efficiency by means of an internal heat pump system that avoids temperature variations. For use in freshwater and marine aquariums. Fits most canister filters such as the Hydor Prime, the Rena Filstar, Eheim canisters, and the Fluval canisters with the use of a short section of tubing to complete the connection. Use of the ETH cleaning brush is recommended.

Features:
  • Completely safe.
    No danger of damage if the equipment is left running without water for a short period of time.
  • Patented heating element made with the exclusive PTC system. The traditional metal resistor coils have been replaced by a special polymer sheet, silk-screened with heating ink.
  • Setting of temperature controlled by an electronic circuit with indicator light.
  • Connectors suitable for any flexible pipe of all external filters.
  • Two year manufacturer's warranty.
