ADA Power Sand BASIC-S is the essential base substrate foundation for high-performance Nature Aquariums. The original Power Sand combines porous volcanic materials with a balanced blend of organic and slow-release inorganic nutrients. Its highly porous structure promotes excellent water circulation, preventing anaerobic conditions and ensuring oxygen reaches plant roots. Even over long-term use, it maintains stability, circulation, and nutrient balance, creating the ideal foundation for a thriving planted aquarium.
Key Features:
-
Long-Term Nutrient Supply
Provides organic and slow-release inorganic nutrients that support plant roots for extended periods. -
Porous Volcanic Rock Base
Made from coarse, porous volcanic stones that allow roots to penetrate easily and provide habitat for microbes. -
Boosts Beneficial Microorganisms
Enriched with ADA Bacter 100 and Clear Super to rapidly increase substrate bacteria and microfauna. -
Improves Water Circulation in Substrate
Large granules create spaces that allow water and oxygen to flow in lower layers. -
Prevents Substrate Compaction
Maintains structure over time, avoiding stagnant zones and root problems. -
Promotes Strong Root Development
Ideal for heavy root-feeding plants such as Cryptocoryne and Echinodorus. -
Enhances Biological Stability
Encourages a balanced ecosystem by supporting aerobic bacteria activity. -
Reduces Anaerobic Gas Formation
Good oxygen supply prevents harmful toxic buildup in deep substrate beds. -
Designed as Bottom Layer Only
Must be covered with aqua soil or plant substrate — not used alone.
