ADA Power Sand Advanced is a premium substrate material developed by Aqua Design Amano (ADA) for use in planted aquariums. It is designed to promote healthy plant growth by improving water circulation in the substrate and providing essential nutrients for plant roots.
Features:
- Nutrient-Rich Composition: Contains organic nutrients, beneficial bacteria, and minerals to support long-term plant health.
- Porous Granules: Enhances water circulation and oxygen exchange in the substrate, preventing anaerobic zones.
- Long-Lasting Fertilizer: Slowly releases nutrients over time, reducing the need for frequent substrate maintenance.
- Layered Use: Typically used as a base layer beneath ADA Aqua Soil or other substrates.
Types:
ADA Power Sand Advanced is available in different granule sizes to suit various tank sizes:
- Small (S): For nano or small aquariums.
- Medium (M): For standard aquariums.
- Large (L): For larger aquariums or those with a thicker substrate layer.
Benefits:
- Promotes Root Development: Encourages strong, healthy root systems for aquatic plants.
- Supports Beneficial Microorganisms: Provides a habitat for bacteria that aid in nutrient cycling.
- Prevents Substrate Compaction: The porous structure ensures water flow and aeration, preventing dead spots.
- Improves Water Quality: Enhances the stability of the substrate environment, reducing algae growth.
How to Use:
- Spread a layer of ADA Power Sand Advanced at the bottom of the aquarium.
- Cover it with ADA Aqua Soil or your preferred substrate.
- Add decorations and plants, and then fill the tank with water carefully to avoid disturbing the layers.
