Brightwell Aquatics FlorinBase Laterite Powder is a high-purity clay substrate designed to provide essential iron and minerals for freshwater planted aquariums. Iron is critical for strong root development, lush plant growth, and vibrant colors in both green and red plants. A lack of iron can cause slow growth, weak plants, and faded colors—this fine-powdered laterite ensures optimal nutrient availability right at the root zone. This premium substrate should be used as the base layer in a planted tank setup. It works best when topped with FlorinBase Laterin Substrat VF to prevent clouding and ensure direct nutrient access for plant roots. Finally, it is sealed with FlorinBase Laterin Substrat F or another preferred aquarium gravel. Unlike some nutrient-rich substrates, FlorinBase Laterite Powder does not alter pH, ensuring a stable environment for plants, fish, and invertebrates. It is perfect for planted tanks of all sizes and works well with additional fertilizers such as FlorinMulti, FlorinGrō, and FlorinAxis for complete aquatic plant nutrition.
