## Overview

ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Powder Type is a premium 9-liter substrate made from rare Japanese plant-based black soil. It is rich in organic nutrients, ideal for promoting healthy aquatic plant growth and enhancing the well-being of fish and shrimp. Its fine grain size allows for effective anchoring of roots, making it perfect for creating beautiful carpeting plants and intricate miniature landscapes.

## Description

Designed to reproduce the image of , creates an aquascape depicting the fertile South American rainforest with the dynamic alternation of rainy and dry seasons. A high pH level (alkaline) of the substrate causes difficulties for aquatic plants in consuming nutrients. The Aqua Soil Series decreases the hardness of the water and lowers the PH level to the degree at which most aquatic plants can consume nutrients and comfortably grow. Aqua Soil granules maintain their shape and density for long periods underwater securing good circulation of water and oxygen through the substrate. With Aqua Soil, growing difficult plants such as Tonina sp. becomes easier, and it is ideal for fish demanding soft water. (This product is recommended for advanced hobbyists, for beginners, we recommend Aqua Soil ia Light)

## Features

- Completely new substrate made from rare and sparse source of Japanese plant-based black soil derived from decomposed leaf mulch
- Rich in organic elements and nutrients that creates conditions ideal for healthy growth of aquatic plants and has a good influence on the physiological functions of fish and shrimp
- Aqua Soil Powder Type can be used in conjunction with the normal type by placing a layer of powder over the normal type or using the powder type in areas where you intend to plant carpeting plants
- Powder Type has a much finer grain size, so it provides a greater sense of scale is also useful for achieving the ‘Miniature Landscape‘ style of the Nature Aquarium
- It is also beneficial for carpeting plants and grasses – we have found that it allows the small roots of the plants to penetrate and anchor into the substrate more effectively, so it improves plant growth and reduces the risk of the carpet ‘rising’ from the substrate – we know how devastating it can be when your beautiful carpet of Hemianthus lifts away from the substrate!

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plants are loving it
*by J***H on March 23, 2021*

Used one 9l bag of Aqua Soil with 7 20lb bags of Eco Complete where the plants would be and covered it with the Eco complete since it is a very fine grain which is great for root growth. The ammonia started the biologic quickly and after 2 weeks, the ammonia levels were already to 0. I used this product in the areas. 150 gal tank

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good soil
*by C***. on March 31, 2020*

So far this soil has worked well for my tank. Already getting a good amount of plant growth, even though the tank is still new and cycling with just plants, no fish. Water tested high ammonia and nitrate, but there is no bacteria built up. I expect it to drop after a few more weeks. Using this along with Eco compete, so a bit difficult to give a completely accurate review.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent fine substrate for delicate plants
*by J***. on October 16, 2020*

I used this to top off some coarser soil to plant HC Cuba. I was worried that 3l wouldn't be enough but I could achieve some good depth for half of the area of a 20 gallon (60cmx40cm) and had soil left. Three weeks in, I see plants are developing roots, and despite the occasional floater, they all stay put. When I had to replant some of the plants, there was little dust to deal with. Just be careful not to stir too much. I saw quite an ammonia spike (using a seasoned filter and lots of seasoned substrate), but I expected that. After a week, things were running smoothly.Aquascapers in the US don't have that many options for plants, specialized soils, or equipment, none of them cheap anyway, so despite its price, it does a good job.
