Unlike solid gravel, ManoBase is open and light, both in terms of particles and structure. The open particles allow for rapid and massive colonization by beneficial bacteria, which are vital for the stability of the water quality. The open structure allows for optimal plant rooting and water penetration, so that no suffocation of the bottom occurs. Since Colombo ManoBase is made from natural clay sources, it has the beautiful natural look that you want in your aquarium. The particles are rounded and relatively soft, so that bottom dwellers will not damage their soft barbels. Like clay, ManoBase can store nutrients when they are present in excess in the water, and release these nutrients again when the level drops. As a result, ManoBase allows for optimal plant growth and thus reduces algae blooms.
