Description Tech Specs Extended Information
 
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 fishes demanding soft water.

Of all the Aqua Soil types, including the old Amazonia I & Amazonia II, Aqua Soil NEW Amazonia receives our highest recommendation for best plant growth and long term management. Designed to create the image of Amazonia. Create an aquascape depicting the fertile South American rainforest with the dynamic alternation of rainy and dry seasons. Normal and Powder Type available.

In addition to the original Aqua Soil Amazonia features, NEW Amazonia has been improved with the following:

  1. Amazonia makes aquarium water a bit acidic. Aqua Soil lowers pH and KH, and makes an idealistic environment for plants and fish.
  2. New Amazonia contains rich organic acid and nitrogen level. Organic substances in the soil are effective for keeping shrimp in healthy condition.
  3. Its pebbles are hard to crumble. The humic acid helps the plant growth, and hard-to-crumble pebbles do not cause water coloring/cloudiness.
Features
  • Made from specially processed natural material from the earth.
  • Colloid particles capture dirt floating in the water, without any chemical treatment.
  • Gives clarity to the water and creates conditions ideal for healthy growth of aquatic plants.
  • Helps to lower the hardness level of the water.
  • Helps to bring the pH level of the water down to an ideal level for most of the aquatic plants.
  • Composed of granules of size and density ideal for the fast development of healthy plant root systems, rather conventional substrates such as sand.
  • Granules maintain their shape for a long period in water, holding air between them, which is vital for the long time maintenance of a planted aquarium.
  • Used with Power Sand stimulates the fast colonization of bacteria in the substrate and creates perfect conditions for plant root systems.
  • Most desirable pH level for most aquatic plants(ph 5.5 - 6.5) to develop their root systems.
  • Available in 3 types to suit your aquarium layout.

Best aquatic substrate on the market! September 24, 2010
Reviewer: Khoa Pham from Sugar Land, TX United States  
Full of nutrients, easy for planting, and just looks great!

Layered mine on top of Power Sand Special. Great combo.
My plants love this soil!

Fill the aquarium up slowly and carefully as not to disturb the substrate.
Aqua Soil has one "flaw". It can release a cloud of dirt into your water column if disturbed.
Of course, it'll settle or the filter will clear it with time.
It's also notorious for leaching ammonia. So, make sure your tank is completely cycled before adding livestock.
My only reason for docking a star.

However, that should not deter you from buying this soil!
Just be careful, in the end you won't regret it.

Top it off with some Aqua Soil Amazonia Powder Time for a clean, even surface.
I didn't... and I regret not doing so.
