How to Use Amazonia Soil in Your Aquascape
 Do Not Rinse: Pour the soil directly into an empty, dry tank. Washing active soil breaks down the nutrient-rich granules and ruins the structure.
 Create Visual Depth: Spread a layer 2 inches deep at the front of the aquarium and slope it up to 3–4 inches toward the back.
 Hardscape & Plant First: Place rocks, driftwood, and stem plants directly into dry or slightly damp soil before filling the tank with water.
 Fill Gently: Cover the soil with a plastic bag or plate and pour water slowly over it to prevent clouding or disturbing your substrate layout.
 Initial Water Cycling: Amazonia soil naturally releases nutrients and ammonia during the first 2–3 weeks to seed beneficial bacteria. Perform 30–50% water changes every 2–3 days for the first month before introducing fish or shrimp
