Properly caring for aquarium plants

In tropical streambeds, aquatic plants are found growing in a special clay called Laterite. FIRST LAYER is an all natural Laterite in a granular form, which is ideal for aquarium use. The pure Laterite in FIRST LAYER provides the perfect planting medium for a natural aquarium. Mixing all natural Laterite into the gravel bed creates an excellent planting medium for rooted aquatic plants. Safe for use with tropical fish.

Directions:
New Aquariums:

Rinse FIRST LAYER PURE LATERITE.
Distribute evenly on the bottom of the aquarium, using at least 1 oz. (28 g) of FIRST LAYER PURE LATERITE for every U.S. gallon (3.8 L) of aquarium water
Add about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of gravel on top of FIRST LAYER & mix together
Add the remaining gravel to the aquarium
Gently fill the aquarium with water

Established Aquariums:

Rinse the FIRST LAYER PURE LATERITE
Distribute evenly into the aquarium gravel, using 1 oz (28 g) of FIRST LAYER for every U.S. gallon (3.8 L) of aquarium water

NOTE:Adding FIRST LAYER may cause a harmless, red, cloud that will clear. Thorough rinsing will reduce clouding.

Tip: Aquatic plants require sufficient amounts of iron and potassium to produce lush, green leaves. A lack of iron results in decaying leaves and poor growth; potassium is required by aquarium plants for photosynthesis and maintaining cell pressure. API® LEAF ZONE®, a liquid plant food, is an excellent source of these essential nutrients.
