PLANT CARE
Colombo has products for a perfect substrate base, fertilizers and supplements, as well as CO2 systems.
With these products, your plants will grow and prosper.
FloraBase Pro It is a unique base, made in Japan. The pellets maintain their shape and do not disintegrate. FloraBase Pro is rich in nutrients that the open structure provides for healthy roots. FloraBase Pro reduces and stabilizes the pH value to 6. With a pH of 6, there is a sufficient amount of CO2 available for healthy plant growth. The CO2 level in the water is of great importance for optimal plant growth. From the graph you can see that the absorption of CO2 at a pH value of 6 is approximately 80%. When the pH value is higher, absorption decreases significantly.
Starting a new aquarium is much easier when using FloraBase Pro. When the pH is below 7, the ammonia excreted by fish will form as ammonium instead of toxic ammonia. You can make your base using just the FloraBase Pro, in this case there is no need to cover the FloraBase with gravel. Or use NutriBase and cover it with a layer of FloraBase Pro to provide a maximum amount of nutrients to the plants. For example, Shrimp and Discus Fish prefer a pH value of around 6. These animals love FloraBase Pro!
Available in: 2.5 liters, 5 liters and 10 liters
NutriBaseIt is a complete substrate for aquarium plants. Developed in cooperation with experts in the field of aquarium plant cultivation. Contains all essential nutrients for healthy plant growth.

Cover NutriBase with a layer of gravel with a stone diameter of at least 2 mm or cover with a layer of FloraBase Pro

FloraGrow Pro is a liquid fertilizer for heavily planted tanks, for example the so-called 'Aqua Scape' tanks. In cooperation with the aquarium plant nursery 'AquaFleur' we have developed this unique fertilizer. FloraGrow Pro contains all the essential nutrients for heavily planted tanks, in a well-balanced composition. Nitrates and Phosphates are added as well. In moderately flattened tanks these nutrients are sufficiently available because they come from residues left by filtration and fish feeding. In heavily planted tanks, Nitrates and Phosphates must be added, in this case the use of FloraGrow Pro is recommended.
