Power Sand Basic S - 2 Litre

Power Sand Basic is the power sand substrate that is what the Advance is based on. This product is ideal for smaller planted aquariums and serves as a first-layer base substrate material, designed to provide vital nutrients to the roots of aquatic plants. This excellent product also promotes the ongoing growth of substrate bacteria. This very porous “sub” substrate media has a massive surface area, which stimulates good water circulation and organic nutrients to promote the growth of multi-strains of bacteria. Power Sand Basic is really not "that basic after all"; rich with BACTER 100 and Clear Super, this e product will jump start any small planted aquarium to higher standard!

The Power Sand is a vital part of the ADA Substrate System that is famous the world over. Utilizing just the Amazonia Soils is only ½ of the method of success. With ADA Power Sand, the substrate has a maximum potential for water and nutrient circulation, which carries oxygen to stimulate bacterial activity and the development of the plant roots. This is the ideal condition of a healthy substrate in order to establish a balanced ecosystem.

In other soils or substrates, persistent problems occur with the passage of time. Water circulation is obstructed with buildup, and anaerobic activity starts to occur, thus rotting the roots of the plants. The mixed size substrate with Power Sand at the bottom secures good water circulation due to the multiple shapes and sizes of the granules. Even when aquatic plants have been growing for long periods and waste matter accumulates, Power Sand maintains proper water circulation.

Unlike other ADA Power Sand, Power Advance-S provides more minerals and nutrients to the substrate, as it also contains Bacter 100 and Clear Super.
