About the ADA Aqua-Soil Series

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.

• 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 than conventional substrates such as sand.
