👉The Hidden Benefits of Lava Rock
Lava Rock which is formed from the intense heat of volcanos has many hidden benefits for the aquarium that many hobbyists are not even aware of. This blog post on The Hidden Benefits of Lava Rock will give an insight into how this rock really does help.
What are the benefits?
It’s is perfect for providing the ideal living environment for your aquarium because it has beneficial denitrifying bacteria. This bacteria will improve your water quality by reproducing and then removing nitrates.
How does it work?
You only have to inspect the rock and you can see it is covered in tiny holes making it extremely porous allowing water to pass through and diffuse into the rock. So what does The Hidden Benefits of Lava Rock really mean? An anaerobic environment is created inside the rock as beneficial nitrifying bacteria consume all the oxygen in the water.
Within this anaerobic environment inside the rock, denitrifying bacteria consume the nitrate and produce oxygen and nitrogen. We all know how nitrate in the aquarium is bad news for fish and shrimp so Lava Rock really is the most natural and best way of removing nitrate.
🌿🌿🌿LAVA ROCKS FOR PLANTS🌿🌿🌿
👉Crushed and added to soil mixes, it provides the perfect drainage many succulent plants demand. Lava rock is found in many different colours, to complement the plants and hardscaping in your xeric garden.
Lava rocks, when placed at the bottom of the planter, create a place for excess water to pool, away from your plant's roots! Lava rocks have the additional bonus of being porous and will absorb and slow release excess water.
