ADA aqua soil Amazonia Ver.2 uses rare Japanese black soil as the main raw material. The dark black color contrasts well with the leaf colors of aquatic plants and makes the colors of aquatic plants stand out. It includes a pallet-sized Amazonia concentrate supplement in a separate bag that is rich in organic components and traces elements to recreate the natural condition of Amazon river water. Adding an appropriate amount of Amazonia concentrate supplement underneath the Amazonia Ver.2 black soil, makes it possible to provide rich essential organic components without being directly exposed to the water column. This new method reduces problems such as turbid water and algae outbreaks. In addition, natural black soil further conditions the water quality providing essential elements and making it suitable for aquatic plants and tropical fish. It also buffers water naturally and makes the PH of the water slightly acidic. As a result of the combination of natural Japanese black soil and Amazon concentrate supplement, tropical fish and aquatic plants thrive with enhanced vivid colors, and a beautiful Nature Aquarium can be achieved. It is also easy to use, so no matter whether you are a beginner or an experienced aquarist, it will help you create a beautiful Nature Aquarium effortlessly.

How many bags do you need?

• The general rule of thumb is one 3L bag per 5 gallons or one 9L bag per 15 gallons.
• One 9L bag will give approximately 4 inches of height in 1 square foot.
• To determine how many bags you need more accurately, multiply tank length by width by depth.

          For example:

          One 9L bag is equal to 9000 cubic centimeters (approximately 549.21 cubic inches).  In an ADA 60P aquarium with a length of 60cm and width of 30cm, you want a 5cm depth of soil:  

60cm (length) x 30cm (width) x 5cm (desired depth) = 9000 cubic centimeters = One 9L bag
