How do I cut the mat to size?
You can use standard household scissors to trim the plastic mesh backing to your desired shape.

Troubleshooting

Ensure the plastic base is pushed deep enough into the aquarium substrate to weigh it down effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your plant mat, perform a quick rinse with clean water to remove any dust or debris from the packaging. Once clean, determine the desired coverage area and cut the mat if necessary. Position the mat on the bottom of your aquarium and firmly press the plastic base into your substrate to anchor it securely. The mat is chemically inert, meaning it is compatible with all standard aquarium fish and invertebrates. To keep it looking fresh, simply remove it during your regular water change and rinse it under running water to remove any accumulated algae or detritus.
