Brooklands Aquarium Peat
Product Details
Brooklands Aquarium Peat: Natural Water Softening & Blackwater Brilliance!
Transform your aquarium into a naturally thriving habitat with Brooklands Aquarium Peat! This premium, all-natural peat is the perfect solution for aquarists looking to naturally lower pH, soften water, and create a beautiful, authentic blackwater environment. Ideal for a wide range of fish species that thrive in softer, slightly acidic conditions, it enhances their colours and promotes natural behaviours.
Beyond its aesthetic benefits, Aquarium Peat gradually releases beneficial humic and fulvic acids, which can offer mild anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, contributing to a healthier and more stable aquatic ecosystem. It's a natural way to replicate the pristine conditions of many tropical river systems, giving your fish the optimal environment they deserve.

-
Water Softening: Helps to reduce water hardness, creating ideal conditions for fish that prefer softer water.
-
Creates Blackwater Environment: Imparts a natural, amber tint to the water, mimicking the aesthetic of blackwater rivers and enhancing the natural colours of fish.

-
Natural Buffering: Helps to stabilize pH levels in soft water environments, preventing wild fluctuations.
