    Aqua Preta is the soil base behind the Father Fish method. It feeds plant roots for the long term with no CO2, root tabs or liquid fertilizers.

    How to use it:

    1. Spread about 1 inch of Aqua Preta across the bottom. Don't rinse it.
    2. Cap it with 2–3 inches of sand.
    3. Plant heavily, about one inch into the sand cap, never into the soil. Fill slowly and don't disturb the cap.

    Choose your size: Small (0–10 gal), Medium (20L–35 gal) or Large (40–75 gal). Add Aqua Preta Supplement for very large or multiple tanks.
