We are well aware of this at our company Akual, which is currently one of the largest Brands of accessories, devices, and articles related to aquariums. Dolomite substrates are among the most chosen substrates for aquariums filled with species that require hard water with a high pH value.

Many beginner hobbyists mistakenly believe it only changes the visual appearance, while the substrate greatly affects the biochemical balance and living conditions of plants and animals. It is true that most substrates are completely neutral towards water, do not add any contaminants or minerals to it, and thus do not change its properties in any way. However, not all substrates are like that.  \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize: 2-4 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e  \n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight: 2 kg\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"s_faq_collapse pb32 o_colored_level s_custom_snippet pt16\" data-snippet=\"s_faq_collapse\" style=\"background-image: none;\" data-name=\"sera\"\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"myCollapse\" class=\"accordion\" role=\"tablist\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"card bg-white\" data-name=\"Item\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e \u003ch3 class=\"card-header o_default_snippet_text collapsed\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore details about the product\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv data-bs-parent=\"#myCollapse\" role=\"tabpanel\" id=\"myCollapseTab1720523060958\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"card-body\"\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSome aquarium substrates, due to their porous structure, can be, among other things, an excellent home for safe bacteria that support the growth of animals and plants in the given aquarium. While other substrates, due to their high calcium content, can have a very negative effect on some fish species, posing a deadly threat to them. Meanwhile, other substrates act as filters, but as a result, they can release elements into the water that are not recommended for fish. For this reason, when choosing an aquarium substrate, be sure to learn about the characteristics of the fish and plants living inside the aquarium and their water pH requirements.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemember that regardless of the type of fish or plants, marine sand and rocks containing even trace amounts of minerals should not be used in aquariums. Both of these versions pose a deadly threat to fish, which are very sensitive to water quality and the toxic compounds present in it. Stores with questionable reputations may also have unnatural and dyed substrates. In their case, the threats are greater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dolomite Brands substrate is completely natural and enjoys great interest from buyers. However, it cannot be used everywhere. Dolomite contains a very large amount of calcium, which completely changes the water's properties and characteristics. Therefore, it will only be used in some aquariums with selected fish species that need alkaline and hard water to live. It cannot be used in plant aquariums. On the other hand, it is ideal for species from Lake Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria, among others. In such aquariums, this type of substrate stabilizes water parameters and improves its biological properties. Also, the dolomite gravel produced by Aqual is characterized by amazing purity - in its content, we will not find any contaminants dangerous to the health and life of fish. Many less well-known Brands do not give enough importance to the purity of their products, leading to their substrates releasing a large amount of toxic compounds with uncertain effects in the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth noting that in most cases, aquarium substrates are sterile, meaning you won't find enough minerals in them. Many beginner hobbyists don't know this, so they don't use the potential of their aquarium. It is good practice to use a substrate, i.e., additional fertilizer, which is also the base for the dolomite Brands substrate. This substrate contains many nutrients - it improves plant growth by enhancing their rooting, and also provides suitable conditions for photosynthesis. Many of them can even reduce the risk of algae growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe dolomite Brands substrate features many available colors, including black and gray, but the most common are still beige and white, which are considered the most general choice of all options. This color highlights aesthetically arranged aquariums, providing a perfect background for all animals in the aquarium. It comes in the form of small particles, so it fits perfectly all types of aquarium decoration.\u003c\/strong\u003e​\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Aquael","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43586573566045,"sku":"AQ114042","price":13.2,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/0106\/7101\/files\/5BAQ114042_5D_20Aquael_20Dolomite_20Gravel_202-4mm_202Kg.png?v=1780526188","url":"https:\/\/shopivet.com\/es-eu\/products\/aquael-dolomite-gravel-2-4mm-2kg-114478","provider":"Shopivet.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
