What are the conditions for nurturing water plants well ? We think it is necessary to create an environment close to the ecosystem of our Mother Nature in the substrate system. Various microorganisms exist in the natural habitat, having a symbiotic relation with each other. Plants in a natural habitat absorb nutrients, generated by microorganism activity from their roots, and create substance constructing their body. Microorganisms also take in secreted substance from plant roots and degrade the substance for turning into a sources of energy. The degraded substance is again absorbed by plant roots. Such relationship between roots and microorganisms is functioning in an environment where abundant nature still exists, however those relationship is not functioning under modern agriculture method, using chemical fertilizer.
Generally, crop cultivated under modern agricultural method is vulnerable to pests, and environmental change. The stability, in the natural ecosystem, does not exist there.
This idea can be applied to the planted aquarium, and the Nature Aquarium
substrate was developed based on this theory. Water plants can grow well
in a symbiotic relation between plant roots and microorganisms, and this
relationship stabilizes the aquarium environment. Oxygen is indispensable
for microorganism to propagate themselves, and for this reason, the substrate
must be water permeable. It is also important for the roots. Live substrate
is only possible with existence of good quality nutrients, abundant with
organic matters to be degraded by microorganism. Power Sand makes this idealistic
substrate possible.

When you visit rivers and lakes in nature, you may notice many parts of
the riverbed is covered by stones and sand. Even in a river or lake where
aquatic plants flourish, whole riverbed is not covered by plants. We are
introducing a layout with dressing sand in the foreground. Bright color
sand in the foreground changes the whole impression of the layout. It also
helps to make a natural feeling in the layout. Especially under metal halide
lighting system such as Solar 1 or Grand Solar 1, shadow of moving water
surface is reflected on the dressing sand, and this image gives an illusion
as if watching the riverbed during river dive. There are many varieties
in dressing sand, and their colors and different. Please select the one
close to your layout image. Aqua Gravel is a gravel collected in a natural
river. It comes in 4 variation sizes. It also helps to create a natural
feeling by using different size gravels. Aqua Gravel can be used not only
for planted aquarium, but also fish tank. Fine sand is good for fish like
corydorus, and Aqua Gravel is recommended for fresh water Japanese native
fish.
