Why we love and recommend this:
Rich in nutrients and great for demanding plants such as Rotala, Ludwigia and Echinodorus
Also comes in Powder form for hassle-free planting a root growth for smaller foreground plants such as Micranthemum Monte Carlo, Hemianthus callitrichoides 'Cuba', Utricularia Gramminfolia, and more
Buffers water to slightly acidic pH for better aquatic plant nutrient consumption environment

Choosing a quality aquarium substrate is an essential part of a planted tank as it provides vital nutrients for lush aquatic plant growth and helps balance water properties by decreasing the hardness/pH for optimal levels for aquatic plants, shrimp, and most tropical fish. Tropica Aquarium Soil is perfect for your new aquarium and can be used without any additional bottom layers or additives. 

The granule size is optimal for easy planting. We recommend 25-50% water changes about twice a week during the first month after initial setup. 

Comes in a 3 liter or 9 liter bag.

Below is a 44 gallon tank using three 9 liter bags of Tropica Aquarium Soil Normal:


What's the difference between Tropica Aquarium Soil Normal and Powder?
Powder features smaller granules of soil which is beneficial for plants with shorter and less developed roots which is common with foreground plants. Our recommended granule size for aquatic plants such as Micranthemum 'Monte Carlo’, Hemianthus Callitrichoides ‘Cuba' and other similar sized plants.

How much Tropica Aquarium Soil do I need?
The general rule of thumb is one 3L bag per 5 gallons and one 9L bag per 15 gallons

[Tank Length x Tank Depth x Desired Substrate Height (inches)] / 60 = Total liters of Aquarium Soil required

Works For Me!
Flavor Name: Unscented, Size: 1 count (Pack of 5)
Bought these approx 2 weeks ago. We cook with tallow which is why I bought it. It stays on my lips much longer than the chap stuff and don’t have to reapply every 20 min. Don’t know if there is a solution to dry lips so I’ll stick with the tallow. I have Sjogrens which causes itchy dry patches. I did buy the tallow soap and that feels great after a shower. I’m now looking at the face/skin cream. (Gotta do what you gotta do!)

Not too strong and very spreadable
Flavor Name: Fresh Mint, Size: 1 count (Pack of 5)
These are fantastic! The texture is just what I was looking for. The leading brand is too dry in my opinion these are perfectly moisturizing and spreadable with the right amount of mint. You can tell it’s mint but it doesn’t burn like some of the others. After first trying a tallow moisturizer I was hooked and starting to look for a lip balm. This is a great choice for people who love the more oily texture of tallow!
