ADA Aqua Soil – Amazonia Ver.2 (Powder Type) 3 L: Ultra‑Fine Nutrient Rich Ground for Nano Aquascapes
Formulated from volcanic Niigata soil, this powder‑type substrate delivers a consistently smooth surface while infusing the tank with essential macro‑ and micronutrients. Its fine grain reduces runoff, offering immaculate control over carpet plant positioning and visually enhancing foreground layers. ADA’s commitment to quality guarantees reliable plant growth and stable water conditions, ideal for beginners and advanced aquascapers alike.
The lightweight 3 L (2,650 g) cartridge is perfect for nano setups, ensuring minimal ballast. Because it leaches a slightly acidic balance, it naturally counteracts alkaline source water and provides a steady foundation for high‑carrying carpeting species.

How to Use This Aqua Soil
- Rinse the powder gently under running tap to remove dust.
- Layer a thin sheet of Power Sand (optional) on the tank bottom for added structure.
- Evenly spread the Aqua Soil over the base, creating a flat planting surface.
- Plant desired carpeting species such as Glossostigma, Hemianthus or Micranthemum; secure with a light layer of soil if needed.
- Daily supplement with Brighty K or Neutral K to maintain potassium and micronutrient levels.
- Fill the tank with water, cycle the new substrate, and set up aquarium equipment.
Care & Maintenance Tips
- Monitor pH; the substrate leaches slightly acidic values, targeting 6.5–7.5 for optimal plant health.
- Daily Brighty K/Neutral K dosing ensures continuous nutrient availability.
- Add Super Pour 100 substrate additive whenever you top the soil.
- Perform partial water changes every 2–3 weeks to keep detritus from settling into the fine grade.
- Maintain stable CO₂ levels, especially for carpeting species that thrive under high CO₂.
- Avoid overly vigorous filtration, which can disturb the delicate fine‑grained layer.
