Tannin Aquatics
CCA Members
One of our most popular products is our "substrate enrichment media", called "Fundo Misto." The coconut-based product has a course texture and size which, when mixed with more "conventional" sands and gravels, helps create a tannin-producing, environment-enriching, and aesthetically pleasing alternative to "basic" substrates in your aquarium.
We began offering this product because, several years back, I became fascinated with the idea of creating more interesting, biologically diverse subverts in natural aquariums. Other than in planted systems, which use special blends of nutritive soils and materials, little attention has been paid in the hobby to creating "active", interesting substrates for general aquarium use. Sure, there were some increasingly more available sands and gravels of various sizes and colors- a great start. However, I couldn't find anything else on the market that would help replicate natural stream or river substrates to any great extent. (click to read more)
