Aquatic Nature Galaxy Dekoline Quartz
Aquatic Nature’s Dekoline Quartz hosts the combined benefits of both visual and functional excellence, resulting in an easy, reliable and very fast way to come to creative, healthy and
harmonious aquatic creations…
The aquarium substrate is a vital part of a beautiful and stable aquarium biotope. This granulated bottom layer
in our aquarium forms a complex mix of materials, physical and biochemical processes that actively support
the maintaining of a healthy environment for all vegetable and animal life forms within our aquarium biotope.
The importance of using a high quality aquarium gravel within this substrate may not be underestimated. The
resulting top layer can be the preferred feeding place or may be the natural breeding place for our precious
aquarium inhabitants. The plant’s rootlets need to find their way through this gravel, finding macro and micro
nutrients provided and interfaced by the rich microbial community in the underlying fertilizer soil of the substrate.
Water conditions like pH and hardness should not be influenced by the used gravel. An ideal aquarium
gravel should be chemically inert even in rather acidic water conditions, be free of sharp edges and have a
constant and optimal grain size.

As all good products, Dekoline Quartz have been copied throughout the years but have never
been equaled in their outstanding quality, natural color range and perfect color retention guaranteed
by the separate coloring and coating process steps.
Dekoline Quartz, unlike traditional aquarium gravels, do not need to be rinsed before use as
they do not cause turbidity and do not contain any dirt particles that will go into suspension.
Dekoline Quartz are ready for immediate use and guarantee a direct and optimal result with
crystal clear water.

With the Dekoline Quartz product range of coated quartz granulates, Aquatic Nature was able to
create a high quality aquarium gravel matching the optimal natural condition where all the contaminants
and soluble elements are leached away on a continuous basis by the natural
lixiviation.
Besides the unparalleled typical natural biotope colors, some very pure, attractive and decorative
colors are available within the Dekoline Quartz product range for the non-biotope and decorative
mono-culture aquarium.
Using Dekoline Quartz in specialized nano aquariums gives unlimited possibilities to realize
unique creative designs according to your personal taste and preferences.
Dekoline Quartz is available in two grain sizes, either 1-2 mm or 2-3 mm. With these well defined
and constant grain sizes we can provide all plant roots with an adequate water circulation
and plenty of space for further rooting. As the decorative top layer of the aquarium substrate,
Dekoline Quartz fulfills a very important aerobic function facilitating the transfer of oxygen and
nutrients to the plants roots and underlying micro fauna. This avoids the typical anaerobic black
zones inherent to the slitting up of the substrate.
The constant grain size makes it particularly
easy to regularly and thoroughly remove
all the organic waste by gravel vacuuming,
resulting in a clean and healthy
substrate.
