Hygger CO2 Aquarium Soil – 6.6 lb Substrate for Plants & Shrimp, No Wash Needed

Overview

Hygger CO2 6.6 lb aquarium soil is a natural sintered substrate enriched with humus and nutrients. It is designed to support aquatic plants, shrimp, and other inhabitants while helping you create a rooted, natural underwater landscape. The material provides ongoing fertility and serves as a valuable matrix for plant growth and tank aesthetics without making unfounded claims about guaranteed results.

With essential nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, this substrate aims to support steady plant development while offering a benign habitat for microfauna. It is formulated to be safe for fish and aquatic plants and to help you craft a vibrant underwater scene that feels alive and cohesive.

Performance and benefits

The soil is sintered from natural soil to deliver good water permeability and a porous structure. This supports microbial life and healthy root systems while aiding in gentle natural buffering of water conditions. The combination can contribute to stable water quality that many aquatic plants prefer.

• Porous grain structure about 3 to 5 mm favors root anchoring and air flow
• Natural humus and nutrients support plant growth over time
• Absorbs nitrite and other substances that can stress fish and shrimp
• Good for aquascaping by enhancing natural color and texture of the tank floor

The texture is fine and not prone to scattering, which helps you lay a neat layer on the tank bottom. It supports photosynthesis by aquatic plants and adds ornamental value to the landscape. This substrate is especially well suited for water plant tanks and can help you achieve a lush, cohesive look in your aquascape.

Usage and safety notes

• If you are setting up a new tank, plan for daily water changes for 3 to 5 days after installation
• Ensure water is changed at least three times before adding aquatic inhabitants
• If the tank is established, avoid adding soil directly to reduce stress on residents

Hygger CO2 aquarium soil particles are about 3 to 5 mm, which balances air permeability with stable root support. The product is treated to minimize pulverization and to maintain substrate stability during use.
