Ebi Gold Shrimp Soil 5L

Ebi Gold Shrimp Soil – Premium substrate for shrimp aquariums

Ebi Gold Shrimp Soil is a high-quality substrate, specially formulated to create optimal conditions for sensitive shrimp such as Caridina and Taiwan Bee. Unlike many other substrates, it does not release ammonium (NH₄) upon start-up, which minimizes the risk of toxic peaks and makes it safe to use immediately – even in newly started aquariums.

Features and benefits

• Natural composition: Consists of various dark soil types without added fertilizers or dyes.
• Porous structure: Large surface area and open pore structure promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms and bacteria, contributing to a stable and balanced ecosystem.
• Stabilizes water parameters:
  
• pH: Lowers and stabilizes pH to approximately 6.0–6.8, depending on the characteristics of the tap water.
• GH: Reduces total hardness to approximately 4–5 °dGH.
• KH: Lowers carbonate hardness to approximately 1–2 °dKH.
• No ammonium leakage: Unlike some other substrates, Ebi Gold Shrimp Soil does not release ammonium, which reduces the risk of algae growth and creates a safe environment for the shrimp.
• Fast clarification: Any turbidity at start-up disappears within a few hours, resulting in clear and clean water.

Use and dosage

• Preparation: Do not rinse the substrate before use – Ebi Gold Shrimp Soil is ready to use directly in the aquarium.
• Installation: Place a plate on the substrate and carefully fill with water from above to avoid swirling.
• Recommended substrate height: 3–5 cm, depending on the size of the aquarium.
• Tip: Although the soil is safe to use immediately, we recommend running the aquarium for at least 14 days before introducing shrimp. This gives biofilm and beneficial microorganisms time to establish themselves – an important source of nutrition for newly hatched shrimp larvae.
