CapillaPon : The optimal substrate for our aquaponics systems
The perfect mix of lava, expanded clay and zeolite in capillary vessels from Aquariengarten
For many plant lovers who rely on aquaponics systems, the question of the ideal substrate arises. CapillaPon, a tried and tested mixture of lava, expanded clay and zeolite in a ratio of 30:40:30, has proven to be extremely effective in creating a balanced environment for plant roots. This combination offers excellent drainage, aeration and water holding capacity - important factors for the healthy growth of plants.
The advantages of the 30:40:30 mix:
- Lava (30%) : This mineral substrate improves drainage and aeration and ensures a constant supply of oxygen to the plant roots.
- Expanded clay (40%) : These light clay balls provide stability and promote even water distribution, prevent waterlogging and support the structure of the substrate.
- Zeolite (30%) : Zeolite has a high cation exchange capacity, which optimizes nutrient storage and release and binds harmful substances in the water.
This mix is not only ideal for aquaponics systems such as Deep Water Culture (DWC) and Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), but also perfect for use in Aquariengarten's innovative capillary vessels.
Capillary vessels from Aquariengarten: The perfect addition
Capillary vessels from Aquariengarten are specially designed to optimize the irrigation of plants in aquariums. They use the principle of capillary action to efficiently transport water from the aquarium substrate to the plant roots. This ensures that the plants receive a consistent and needs-based water supply.
Why capillaries and the 30:40:30 mixture harmonize perfectly:
1.Optimal water supply : Due to the capillary action of the vessels, the water is evenly distributed and the roots are kept constantly moist without waterlogging.
2. Even nutrient supply : The combination of lava, expanded clay and zeolite ensures that nutrients are well stored and slowly released to the plants.
3. Excellent aeration : Lava and expanded clay provide good aeration of the root area, which promotes root growth and plant health.
4. Easy to use: The use of capillary vessels and the 30:40:30 substrate mixture makes plant care uncomplicated and efficient.
Conclusion :
CapillaPon , the mixture of lava, expanded clay and zeolite in a ratio of 30:40:30, is the optimal solution for aquaponics systems and perfectly complements the capillary vessels of aquarium gardens. This combination provides an ideal growth environment for your plants and makes maintenance much easier.
