Natural maturation
Leaves and pods change shape, sink and soften as the aquarium route develops.
Staged use
Introduce the contents gradually rather than adding everything at once.
Stronger Botanical Effect & More Feature Pieces for Larger Blackwater Aquariums Upgrade your blackwater setup with this Large Botanical Box PLUS — designed for hobbyists who want extra leaf litter, stronger tannins and enough botanicals to scape one big display tank or several smaller aquariums.
HOW TO USE / LAYOUT GUIDANCE
- Ideal for a 100–150L blackwater aquarium when used in full.
- For lighter tannins or multiple tanks, divide the box into smaller portions and dose each aquarium separately.
- Top up or replace every 4–6 weeks, depending on how quickly items are consumed and how dark you want the water.

AQUARIUM PRODUCT STORY
Build the box as a natural habitat route
Four varied illustrative scenes show possible habitat, preparation or use contexts. They are visual examples, not customer photographs or guaranteed results.
FEATURE PIECE
Set the largest structural botanical first and build the smaller materials around it.
OPEN ROUTES
Leave open sand and swimming space instead of filling the entire substrate.
GRAZING SURFACES
Spread leaves and textured pieces so shrimp and small fish can explore multiple surfaces.
SHELTER
Use pods and harder forms to create cover without turning the whole aquarium into one dense pile.
PREPARATION & SAFETY
PREPARATION
- Rinse all botanicals thoroughly before use. Do not use soap, detergents or household chemicals.
- If needed, pre-soak harder pieces for 1–7 days to help them sink and to reduce the strongest initial tint.
- A white or translucent biofilm may appear as botanicals begin to soften. This is a normal part of botanical decomposition and is commonly grazed by shrimp and snails.
SAFETY
- Add botanicals gradually, particularly in small aquariums or very soft, low-KH water.
- Botanicals are not a treatment and do not guarantee a specific pH, GH or KH change.
- Remove or reduce botanical material if livestock show signs of stress.
- For ornamental aquarium / hobby use only. Not for human consumption. Keep away from children and pets.
