Optimum 3x3mm Micro-Mesh: The precision 3mm grid allows unrestricted water flow while preventing expensive aquasoil, gravel, or baby shrimp from falling through.
-
Elevated 2.7cm Base: The raised leg supports create a spacious 2.7cm (approx 1 inch) void under the substrate, maximizing oxygenation for beneficial bacteria and making it easy to observe detritus buildup.
-
Easy Custom Cutting: Have a uniquely shaped tank? No problem! The food-grade plastic is rigid enough to support heavy rocks but can be easily trimmed to the exact millimeter using standard heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife.
โ ๏ธ Buying Calculator: How Many Plates Do You Need?
Each plate measures 14.5cm x 14.5cm. Use this simple Atradesen.com formula to calculate your required quantity:
-
Formula: (Tank Length รท 14.5) ร (Tank Width รท 14.5) = Total Plates Needed.
-
Example for a 90cm x 45cm tank:
1. Length: 90 รท 14.5 = 6.2
2. Width: 45 รท 14.5 = 3.1
3. Total: 6.2 ร 3.1 = 19.22
๐ You would need to purchase 20 plates to fully cover the bottom!

Connection Tip: If running an uplift tube, purchase mostly "Flat Plates" and just 1 or 2 "Connector Plates" to attach your vertical pipes.
