FAQ
FAQ
Does it affect water chemistry?
A: No, it does not affect water hardness, and it promotes
biological filtration, binds organics, and supports stable water chemistry
without altering pH.
Can I use it in planted tanks?
A: Yes, the sand is inert and will not break down or react
with dissolved CO2.
Does it contain nutrients for plants?
A: No, though it does help create a stable, oxygen rich
foundation for aquascapes, enhancing root health, slope stability, and long
term water clarity.
Is it safe for shrimps?
A: Yes, it is non-toxic and safe for all fish, shrimp, and
plants.
Do I need to rinse it?
A: No, it is pre-washed for convenience and immediate use.

Usage
- No need to rinse the substrate before use, it's ready to use.
- Spread the PowerVol base substrate with a depth of 2-4 cm of PowerVol evenly in the tank.
- Create slopes or volumes at will by adding extra PowerVol on top.
- Now, you can arrange safely and securely the hardscape on top of the PowerVol that provides a stable foundation.
- Once satisfied with the hardscape layout, cover with your chosen substrate, such as Eonian Series or Artist Series.
- Pour water gently on top of a hard surface to avoid upsetting the planted soil.
- During the initial setup period, the aquarium water may turn cloudy, but it should disappear in a few hours after turning on the filter.
