ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 9L (104-060) Substrate for Aquarium
Enhance your aquatic setup with ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2, a premium aquarium substrate designed to support plant growth, water quality, and vibrant fish life.

Product Description:

• Premium Substrate for Aquatic Plants: ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 is a high-quality, nutrient-rich substrate designed to support the growth of aquatic plants in freshwater tanks. It provides the ideal environment for plants to thrive, ensuring lush greenery and vibrant aquascaping. Ideal for both beginner and advanced aquarists, this substrate is the go-to choice for creating an attractive and healthy aquatic ecosystem.

• Nutrient-Rich for Plant Growth: The unique composition of ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 contains organic nutrients that promote the robust growth of aquatic plants by enhancing root development. This substrate creates an environment that simulates the natural soil conditions of the Amazon River, making it perfect for growing a wide variety of plants like foreground, midground, and background species.

• Improves Water Conditions: One of the standout features of ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 is its ability to stabilize water parameters. It softens the water, lowers pH, and maintains a stable, slightly acidic environment that is ideal for many species of aquatic plants and fish. This feature makes it especially useful for creating biotopes and supporting delicate aquatic species. By keeping water hardness low and enhancing overall water quality, it helps prevent harmful algae growth and reduces the need for chemical water treatments.

• Buffering Capacity: ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 has a strong buffering capacity that helps maintain stable pH levels. This is critical for sensitive fish species like tetras, discus, and dwarf cichlids, which thrive in slightly acidic waters. The substrate's ability to maintain consistent water conditions promotes the well-being of plants and fish, allowing them to flourish in a stress-free environment.

• Water Cloudiness Reduction: When first introduced into an aquarium, ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 may cause mild water cloudiness due to the fine particles in the substrate. However, this clears up after a short period, leaving the water clear and beautiful. The substrate is specially designed to avoid long-term cloudiness, ensuring a pristine view of your aquatic landscape once settled.

• Tank Setup: Ideal for planted aquariums, ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 is perfect for tanks ranging from nano setups to larger aquascapes. For optimal results, it’s recommended to combine it with other ADA products like the ADA Power Sand, which provides a stable foundation for nutrient absorption. The substrate can be used alone or in layers, depending on the desired effect.

• Water Conditions:

  • pH: Slightly acidic, ideal range of 5.5-6.5
  • Water Hardness: Soft to moderately soft
  • Temperature: Best suited for tropical aquarium temperatures of 22-28°C (72-82°F)
  • Water Type: Freshwater
  • Filtration: Requires regular filtration to maintain optimal water quality and avoid the accumulation of debris.

• Tank Mates: ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 supports a wide variety of freshwater fish, invertebrates, and plant species. It’s particularly suitable for:

  • Fish: Tetras, discus, bettas, dwarf cichlids, guppies, neon tetras, and shrimp.
  • Invertebrates: Freshwater shrimp, snails, and crayfish.
  • Aquatic Plants: Anubias, Java fern, Amazon sword, mosses, carpeting plants, and stem plants.
    The soft, slightly acidic environment helps prevent stress in delicate species and encourages natural behaviors such as breeding and foraging.

• Feeding Habits & Care:

  • Feeding: Fish and plants should be fed appropriately for their size and species. Fish should be fed once or twice daily with high-quality flakes, pellets, or frozen food. Aquatic plants may benefit from regular fertilization in addition to the nutrients provided by the substrate.
  • Maintenance: Regular water changes (10-15% per week) and cleaning of the substrate are recommended to prevent debris build-up and maintain excellent water quality. While ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 does not require frequent replanting, trimming of plants and removal of dead leaves will promote a healthy and vibrant tank environment.
  • Long-Term Care: Over time, the substrate may settle and compact, which is normal. However, it still retains its nutrient properties, making it a long-lasting investment for your aquarium. It’s important to maintain consistent water parameters, especially the pH and hardness, to ensure the health of plants and fish.

• Capacity:
  This package contains 9 liters of ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2, enough to cover an area of approximately 20-30 cm in a 60 cm tank (depending on the desired depth of the substrate).

ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver 2 9L (104-060) is a superior choice for hobbyists seeking a high-quality substrate that enhances the aesthetic appeal of their aquariums while promoting the health and vitality of aquatic plants and fish.
