    • Porous Structure: Ensures excellent drainage while retaining essential moisture.

    Versatile Uses:

    Aquascaping and Shrimp Care:

    • Helps maintain tank equilibrium and stability.
    • Buffers pH levels safely for up to three years.
    • Natural composition prevents leaching, keeping your water pristine.

    Bonsai Cultivation:
