ADA Power Sand Special L Base Substrate for Aquarium, 18L | Delivers Organic Nutrients

ADA Power Sand Special L is a premium substrate base layer designed to provide essential nutrients and enhance the long-term stability of planted aquarium ecosystems. Ideal for deep tanks or aquascapes with thick substrate layers, the “L” size (designed for tanks over 60 cm in height) features larger granules that promote better water circulation within the substrate, preventing anaerobic conditions and encouraging healthy root development.

This Special version of Power Sand includes an enriched mix of natural volcanic gravel, organic nutrients, Bacter 100 (a blend of beneficial bacteria), Clear Super (activated carbon to promote microbial growth), and BC powder (natural charcoal to maintain substrate freshness). Together, these components create a biologically active environment that fosters robust plant growth from the roots up.

Power Sand Special L acts as a nutrient reservoir, gradually releasing vital minerals and organic matter to plant roots over time. It is especially effective for supporting heavy root feeders like Cryptocoryne, Echinodorus, and stem plants. When used in combination with ADA Aqua Soil, it provides a powerful substrate system that promotes long-term success in nature aquariums.

This 2-liter package is suitable for aquascapers seeking both beauty and biological performance, especially in complex layouts or long-term aquariums. Easy to apply, ADA Power Sand Special L ensures a stable, healthy, and thriving substrate environment for aquatic plants and beneficial microorganisms alike. For optimal results, always layer with ADA Aqua Soil and follow recommended aquascaping techniques.
