Originating in Japan, Flora Base Pro can be used as the sole aquarium substrate or used in conjunction with Colombo Nutri Base to provide the maximum amount of nutrients for plants to thrive. Available in coarse and fine grades Flora Base Pro retains its shape and will not disintegrate like other inferior planting substrates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe substrate has the added advantage that it will lower and maintain a pH of 6 which in turn boosts the available CO2 levels for optimal plant growth.
