Planting Substrate and Soil

Planting substrate is the way to go when it comes to getting a natural vegetation look in your aquarium. If you decide that you want your aquarium to be au-natural, then planting substrate is necessary in order to grow real live plants at the bottom of your fish tank.

At Swell we provide a selection of suitable substrates, many of which include beneficial elements such as iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium and sulphur to help encourage a beautiful and thriving aquarium that is full of life and can become a real feature in your home.

We avoid using products which include artificial dyes and take pride in supplying substrates free of paints or chemical coatings, keeping the delicate balance in your aquarium as stable as possible.

Take a look at our selection of CO2 and planting equipment for a range of a planting tools and accessories, CO2 proof pipe work and fittings, CO2 and Iron test kits. These can give you the edge when it comes to the slightly added maintenance of keeping live plants.
