Cap with 1.5–2 inches of pool filter sand (do not rinse soil). Plant heavily on day one—stems, swords, crypts; mount rhizomes (Anubias) on wood/rock. Fill slowly and run a sponge filter; avoid disturbing the cap. What’s included • Enough Aqua Preta for tanks up to 10 gallons (store leftovers sealed for future use) • Natural mineral and organic components for a living root zone Father Fish tip “In small tanks, thinner soil and a solid sand cap keep things tidy. 1/2 inch soil + 1.5–2 inches sand is the sweet spot.” 👉 Build your foundation with our Aqua Preta soils, then plant heavy from the Stem Plants Collection and add easy accents from the Anubias Collection.
