The Oase ScaperLine Black Soil is a premium active substrate specifically designed for aquascapers and hobbyists seeking to cultivate thriving planted aquariums. By leveraging a blend of volcanic ash and Kurobokudo, this substrate promotes healthy plant growth through its nutrient-buffering capabilities and water-softening properties, though users should note that its active nature will influence existing water chemistry, which may not be suitable for all fish species.

No. The soil is specifically designed to be used directly from the bag without washing to maintain its active mineral composition.
Yes. It is an active substrate designed to lower water hardness and pH to create an ideal environment for most aquatic plants.
The duration of the active buffering effect depends on your water change frequency and mineral content of your tap water, but it is formulated for long-lasting performance.
This soil is best suited for planted aquariums. Goldfish often dig heavily and produce high bioloads that may not be compatible with the substrate's buffering capacity.
The grain size is 2-4mm, which is perfectly sized for both small and large aquascapes.
The cloudiness is typically caused by improper filling. Ensure you use a plate or bowl to break the water stream when pouring. Cloudiness should settle within a few hours with filtration running.
Verify that your lighting and CO2 levels are appropriate for the plant species. The soil supports nutrition, but cannot replace adequate light and carbon.
