WIO PowerVol Base

Elevate your scapes with WIO PowerVol Base — a 100% natural volcanic substrate offering easy topography creation, optimal root nourishment, and active bio-filtering. Ideal for aquariums, paludariums, and terrariums.

PowerVol Base is your essential building block for creating vibrant, healthy nature habitats. Crafted from 100% natural volcanic rock, this engineered substrate is functionally advanced — by using PowerVol Base you are not just laying a foundation, you are creating a flourishing ecosystem.

PowerVol Base is the perfect foundation for easily creating base volumes and slopes for your scapes. Its volcanic rocks interlock firmly to ensure stability of hardscape elements, while the porous structure is home to beneficial bacteria that enhance water quality and contribute to a balanced aquatic environment. Rich in minerals and trace elements, PowerVol Base ensures your plants receive the nutrients they need to thrive, while its open-pored structure allows for optimal oxygen supply.
