PRODAC AQUATOR 400g peat in granules. Peat is a natural material formed from decomposing plant materials, such as vegetation (trees, grasses) and fungi. It is available in granulated form, in sheets, or in soil form.

It helps to reduce the pH in the aquarium water, lowering the carbonate (KH) and general (GH) hardness, approaching the living conditions of many tropical fish. The release of humic acids, fulvic acids, tannins, and trace elements into the water is important, as they are essential for some fish and encourage their breeding.

Peat contains nutrients that are beneficial for plants, such as fulvic acid, and can inhibit algae growth. The use of gardening peat, which may contain harmful chemicals for fish, is prohibited.

The use of peat in a planted aquarium affects the water lighting depending on the amount. It is recommended that peat does not enter the biological filter but is used in a separate filter for easy and independent replacement.
