Dennerle NutriBasis 6in1

I used this substrate in combination with Karlie flamingo gravel, Beeztess nutrient soil and Beeztees river sand. I only used this as a very thin layer on the bottom of the tank, this has however proved sufficient in growing alot of plants in my tank, all my plants are growing very quickly and green and certainly have all the nutrients they need. They have put down many roots since planting, far better than in my LFS tank.Make sure to wash this soil before use, as it will cloud your tank and take a few days to settle otherwise. I did not wash mine and the water was brown and dusty for a long time. It is fine once it settles, so its your choice whether you want to wait or not.I used to have shrimp in my tank, and they did fine, so I can confirm it is shrimp safe.The bag it arrives in is very strong, which makes it easy to carry.

Good product . Needs to be put in the tank when first setting it up, under the gravel , before any water is put in .

For any prospective buyer , only buy this when you are setting up your tank !! This is a sand like substance with peat , it needs to be put under a layer of another substrate.I have kept fish for around 30 years so I know a little about aquaria . The results so far are encouraging and plant root growth is healthy .I bought 3 bags for a 275 ltr tank which is adequate if putting another layer of substrate over it .My fish have dug a little and exposed part of the substrate but that's okay . I use CO2 also in my aquaria .

I purchased two bags for a 250l aquarium, which is plenty when using a sand substrate over the top. I had none of the issues I'd had with previous substrates turning the water brown, it's a good natural colour and after 4 weeks of use the plants have already grown quite well - this is without CO2 or other fertiliser.If you had a similar sized aquarium and were only using this for the substrate I would recommend 3 bags for a better coverage, this covered the base at around 1-2cm depth.

Says it is enough for a 90 litre tank. I have it in a 60 litre and there was only enough for a quarter inch layer. However it does the job. The plants are growing well.

excellent product. Bought 2 of the small bags for my 64L aquarium, and have some left over. Covered with a thin layer of fine gravel and some larger pebbles and I've never had a better result setting up a tank before: water was perfectly clear from the moment I poured it in, not even the least bit murky or anything.Only just set up the aquarium 3 days ago, so can't comment on the results with the plants yet, but so far really pleased.Would recommend.

When getting this product you need to empty it into a bucket and wash it through before putting it into your tank because it's full of debris which will destroy your filter system. Once you do that it's all great and works wonderful if you want sand.

Basically a bag of sand with a handful of peat thrown in. Not worth the money plus bag arrived taped up in bubble wrap as it was heavily split on one end so when i took the bubble wrap off, the loose sand went everywhere!
