ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Original Plant Substrate, 9L | Improves Water Quality

ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia ORIGINAL is a high-performance substrate designed for serious aquascapers. Made from rare Japanese black soil, it closely mimics the rich, fertile conditions of natural environments like the Amazon River basin. Packed with organic matter, humic acids, and essential nutrients, it encourages strong root growth and vibrant plant development.

This substrate lowers pH and softens water hardness naturally, creating ideal conditions for aquatic plants and tropical freshwater fish. Its granular texture promotes healthy water circulation and oxygen flow. This supports the growth of beneficial bacteria and helps maintain long-term biological balance in the aquarium.

Thanks to its rich nutrient content, Amazonia ORIGINAL promotes fast and lush plant growth. However, it releases ammonia during the initial setup. To manage this, perform regular water changes during the first few weeks. Wait to add fish or shrimp until ammonia levels drop to safe levels.

The durable granules resist breaking down over time, which helps maintain a clean and stable aquascape. For best results, combine it with ADA Power Sand or other base additives to create a complete substrate system.

This soil is perfect for experienced aquascapers aiming to build a natural, healthy, and thriving planted aquarium with long-term success.
