## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many litres would I need to purchase for an aquarium with dimensions, 60x35x40 cm?**
A: 9 would probably do. I used about 12-14l in my 180litre community (about 100x35x40ish)

**Q: How long does this product last from when you initially setup in the aquarium. Ie do you have to change the substrate after 1year?**
A: The soil should not be changed. Soil can serve for 5 years. You need to take care of making it clean. it is recommended once a week to well siphonize the soil - to remove the various residues - which are formed during the life of the aquarium

**Q: what colour is this soil?**
A: Colour is this soil is BLACK

**Q: Will this soil leach ammonia for the first few weeks**
A: Here is info from Tropica about this soil:
Aquarium Soil is a complete bottom layer, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer
The grain size of 2-3 mm makes it easy for planting
Aquarium Soil ensures proper growth and stimulates red colours
How to use the product:
Aquarium Soil ensures good and active growth from the beginning, and boosts the red plant shades.

It is a complete substrate, which can be used without any other types of bottom layer.

Aquarium Soil is further an active bottom layer that lowers the pH value and slightly affects the water chemistry.
We recommend that you change 25-50% of the water min. twice a week during the first 4 weeks after establishing the aquarium.

How do I calculate the quantity of Soil or Soil Powder needed for my tank?

Measure your tank’s length and width in cm, for example 90 x 60 cm.
Consider the thickness of the bottom layer you want, e.g. 8 cm.
Make the layer thicker towards the rear wall for a great visual effect!
The calculation to do is length x width x layer divided by 1000.
In our example, 90 x 60 x 8/1000 = 43,2 L Soil/Soil Powder needed.
