Scaper’s Soil Black Extra Fine premium aquarium substrate 10L

Scaper’s Soil is a high-quality aquarium substrate designed to provide the perfect foundation for planted tanks and aquascapes. Produced in Japan with a blend of natural soil and volcanic ash, this premium substrate creates an optimal growing environment for aquatic plants while stabilising water conditions for fish and shrimp.

Unlike many alternatives, Scaper’s Soil is carefully formulated to avoid high ammonia spikes that often cause algae blooms in new tanks. This makes it a reliable, beginner-friendly option for aquarists who want healthy plant growth without the challenges of excessive new tank syndrome.

Usage instructions

Calculate substrate requirement using the formula: Length × Width × Height (in inches) ÷ 60 = Litres of soil needed
Rinse lightly if desired, but generally ready for direct use
Use extra fine granules in smaller tanks (<20 gallons) or as a top layer to anchor delicate plants
For larger aquariums (20 gallons+), combine with normal granules for deeper rooting and stability
Monitor water parameters during the first weeks, as mild cycling adjustments may occur

Recommendations and precautions

Suitable for planted aquariums, shrimp habitats, and tropical fish tanks
Always cycle your tank and ensure ammonia/nitrite levels are at 0 before adding livestock
Store in a cool, dry place and keep sealed to retain soil quality
Use root-feeding plants like Hemianthus callitrichoides (HC) with extra fine granules for the best anchoring
Perform partial water changes during the initial weeks of setup to support tank stability
