AquaClay expanded clay (Hydroton)

Clay pebbles are a lightweight, porous substrate made from expanded clay. It is ideal for use in aquaponic and hydroponic systems and provides excellent aeration and drainage.

Advantages :
- Optimal ventilation : The porous structure ensures excellent oxygen supply to the roots.
- Lightweight and stable : Easy to handle and transport, but still provides a stable base for plants.
- Reusable : Expanded clay can be cleaned and reused in several growth cycles.
- Suitable for aquariums : Expanded clay is safe for use in aquariums and does not harm fish or other aquatic creatures.

Optimal ventilation : The porous structure ensures an excellent supply of oxygen to the roots. If you look at expanded clay under a microscope, you can clearly see the many small pores and cavities that promote air circulation.

Grain size: 4-8mm

Content: 500ml/2000ml expanded clay corresponds to approx. 300g/1200g filling weight

Easy portioning thanks to resealable zip bag.

Application :
Fill your aquaponic system with expanded clay and plant your seedlings directly into it. Ideal for use in systems that provide a continuous water supply and require excellent root aeration.

**Tip**:
Combine expanded clay with lava granules for an optimal mix of water retention and aeration. Combining both substrates can maximize the health of your plants and increase the efficiency of your system.

Note on the combination:
For best results and maximum efficiency of your aquaponic system, we recommend combining expanded clay and lava granules . This mixture provides an excellent balance of aeration and water retention and can significantly improve the health and growth of your plants. Both substrates are safe for use in aquariums and will not harm fish or other aquatic life.
