Volcano Mineral 3L - ProScape
Professional substrate for Aquascaping aquariums
JBL ProScape Volcano Mineral is a highly porous volcanic rock and ideally suitable as a basis for every natural aquarium.
The porous volcanic rock ensures the water circulation at the bottom of the aquarium and also helps supply organic plant nutrients to the plant roots.

With its open-pored structure JBL ProScape Volcano ensures an optimal oxygen supply to the bottom of the aquarium. This encourages microorganisms to settle, making the substrate an efficient biotope.
JBL ProScape Volcano Mineral is rich in minerals like calcium, magnesium and potassium as well as in trace elements like iron, boron or manganese. It is thus a natural supply of many substances necessary for plant growth.
The highly porous volcanic rock fulfils important functions in an aquascaping aquarium:
- Firstly it forms a stable foundation for further rock constructions and/or root wood, which would otherwise slip downwards through the soil.
- Secondly many beneficial bacteria settle inside the porous structure. The porousness of the rock structure also enables the nutrient to penetrate it and it thus supplies numerous minerals enabling the plants to take root and grow well inside it.
Depending on the height of the substrate, we recommend 2-4 cm JBL ProScape Volcano for the first layer.
JBL ProScape Volcano can then be covered with your chosen substrate.
Please add the water gently to avoid unsettling the soil.

Aquascaping is the term used for designing aquarium landscapes. This is where plant compositions, reproductions of landscapes above water or natural biotopes are created. An aquascaping aquarium contains no or few fish and invertebrates.
This way the nutrient supply for plants is reduced and their growth is limited. Nitrogens, phosphorus and other minerals become scarce substances and need controlled and exact re-dosing.
For healthy growth in their beautiful underwater landscape the plants need light, CO2 and the right nutrients.
