Sometimes, when designing an aquarium for fish, "young specialists" may encounter difficulties in finding the soil of the desired color (for example, pure black) and the necessary consistency. Sometimes the solution of such a question can cause a lot of difficulties and it really does not turn out to be simple.
Choosing a black primer to decorate an aquarium
A sufficient number of aquarists do not want to use synthetic materials. In addition, some natural black primers for the aquarium are not entirely suitable. For example, a basalt primer gives a grayish shade, which may not fit into the overall design. You can use granite, but knowledgeable people note that this breed gives impurities to the water and can be magnetized, which is not a very positive quality. Shungite can have sharp edges, which is extremely dangerous for fish floating on the bottom.
An excellent option of natural black soil for the aquarium is quartz. It is perfectly perceived by the inhabitants of the underwater fauna, does not increase the hardness of the water and is completely neutral to it.
Black quartz primer for the aquarium is an excellent alternative to sand, gravel or gravel, it has a smooth surface, which is a key factor in the safety of fish. In order to decontaminate the soil, it is recommended to cook it for five minutes before use. In addition, that quartz is optimal for both fish and underwater plants, which have the ability to develop normally, since their roots have unhindered access to oxygen.
Another advantage of black quartz soil is that with the help of it, an environment is created for the inhabitants of the aquarium, which is as close to the real one, that is, to the one in which they are accustomed to live.
