Australian-sourced with optimised particle size for safe substrate application and aquascaping use. Suitable for both new tank setup and established aquarium maintenance – providing complete mineral support for optimal aquatic plant health.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

Premium Australian-Sourced Polagonite Mineral Supplementation System

Animal Wellbeing’s Polagonite – Mineral Rich Substrate delivers comprehensive mineral and trace element supplementation for freshwater aquariums through naturally occurring volcanic glass that provides sustained nutrition for aquatic plant systems. Our premium food-grade Polagonite substrate provides natural mineral release while offering safe dual-application methods for complete plant nutrition and optimal aquarium ecosystem health.

Natural Ingredient Benefits:
– Enhanced Mineral Release: Ultra-fine powder naturally leaches over 60 bioavailable trace elements, creating superior slow-release nutrition that supports continuous plant growth and cellular development through sustained mineral availability
– Plant Growth Support: Safe for substrate application to naturally enhance photosynthesis, stem strength, and root development by providing essential silicon, iron, and trace minerals critical for aquatic plant metabolism and structural integrity
– Substrate Vitalization: Direct substrate mixing effectively enriches growing medium with bioavailable minerals, creating optimal root zone environment for enhanced nutrient uptake and sustained plant health throughout growth cycles
– Dual Application Safety: Food-grade quality ensures safety for both substrate mixing and targeted plant zone application, providing versatile mineral supplementation without chemical additives or water quality disruption
– Natural Ecosystem Support: Substrate application supports overall aquarium health by providing natural mineral buffering and trace element supplementation from fossilized volcanic glass matrix
– Chemical-Free Solution: Provides comprehensive plant nutrition without synthetic fertilizers, maintaining natural environment suitable for sensitive fish species and sustainable aquarium management practices

Professional Substrate System
Premium ultra-fine powder format ensures optimal particle distribution for both substrate mixing and targeted plant applications while maintaining effectiveness across multiple aquascaping methods and application techniques.

Ideal for all freshwater aquarium setups including planted tanks, aquascaping projects, community aquariums, and specialty systems requiring comprehensive mineral supplementation for optimal plant health and ecosystem balance.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Substrate Application (New Tank Setup):
– Standard dose: 100g per 40L aquarium volume
– Example: 250g Polagonite per 100L planted tank
– Spread evenly across aquarium bottom in 2-4mm layer
– Cover with regular substrate and allow 24-48 hours settling

Targeted Application (Plant Zones):
– Concentrated application around plant root areas
– Apply 4-6mm depth in heavily planted sections
– Mix gently with existing substrate during replanting
– Ideal for aquascaping and plant establishment

PROCEDURE
Substrate Use: Calculate tank volume • Measure required Polagonite amount • Rinse lightly to remove dust • Spread evenly across bottom • Create appropriate depth layer • Cover with aquarium substrate • Allow settling time before adding livestock
Targeted Use: Identify plant zones • Apply concentrated amounts around roots • Mix gently with substrate • Monitor water parameters • Repeat during maintenance periods

DOSING SCHEDULE
New Tank Setup: Complete substrate application during initial setup for optimal plant establishment
Maintenance Protocol: Reapply during major replanting or substrate work
Targeted Application: Apply to new plant areas or during aquascaping projects
Seasonal Refresh: Enhanced application during peak growing seasons when plant nutrition demands increase
Professional Aquascaping: Concentrated application for competition-level plant growth requirements

STORAGE
Store in cool, dry place away from direct sunlight • Keep container tightly sealed • Optimal storage temperature 15-25°C • Indefinite shelf life when stored properly • Protect from moisture absorption • Check packaging integrity before application

CAUTION
Rinse lightly before use to remove fine dust particles • Wash hands thoroughly after handling • Keep out of reach of children and pets • Close container immediately after use • Safe for substrate application when used as directed • Do not exceed recommended dosage for tank volume • Allow adequate settling time before adding livestock • Store away from human food and beverages • Monitor fish and plants for any changes during initial applications • Consult aquarium specialist if concerns arise • Natural product – mineral release may vary with water conditions and pH levels • For freshwater aquarium use only – not suitable for marine applications
