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. New to natural tanks? Try a done-for-you Plant Package.
