MIXED (mixed with Dry Substrate)
Usage Calculator: Use 1lb (450g) of mixed LIVE Bio-Substrate and DRY Substrate for every 1 gallons (3.8 litres) of water. Mixing ratio is 1:4 (1 LIVE to 4 DRY).
• DO NOT rinse before use.
• Mix Bio-Substrate and Dry Substrate thoroughly.
• Now spread mixed substrate and fill with water slowly. Avoid stirring up the substrate.
• Once the tank is filled, start your filter.
• Any cloudy appearance should clear over time.

Nisso Custom Soil is one of the original nutrient soil for aquariums made in Japan.
Nisso Custom Soil lowers pH and has a water softening effect which is ideal for plants and shrimp. Due to the inclusion of Bentonite clay in the soil the pellets also have great functions as sponges both for absorbing excess nutrients as well as allowing beneficial bacteria to grow.
Because of this you will also find that Nisso Custom Soil does not cloud the water as readily as other nutrient soil and should be good to use immediately out of the bag.
No Washing Required
THIS IS FOR 1L. WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME CUSTOMERS DON'T NEED THE FULL BAG.
