So, What Does What?

Each layer serves a purpose.

Leca, sand and gravel can function as drainage elements and top-level decoration.

Activated charcoal absorbs harmful toxins and chemicals that may find their way into your ecosystem.

And finally, substrates provide nutrition, nutrient delivery, water retention and aeration - to make your ecosystem whole.
