Aqua Soil Amazonia has been used by many planted aquarium hobbyists around the world as a base substrate for growing aquatic plants. Aqua Soil Amazonia is produced from black soil with rich organic substances, mimicking the rich soil in the Amazons; improving plant growth.
But, in the alkaline base water*, there are reports of water colouring due to possible seepages of organic substance such as humic acid into the water. So this time Aqua Design Amano introduced “Aqua Soil-Amazonia II“, a new Amazonia-type substrate, produced with different black soil mixture ratio, preventing water colouring. As the base colour or plant growing pattern is different from existing lines, we continuously market Aqua Soil Amazonia. Please select according to your needs and preference. But if your base water* is alkaline, we recommend to use Amazonia II.
*Base water can refer to all types of water used for the aquarium, including tap water, groundwater, or aquarium tank water.
Distinctive FEATURE of “Aqua Soil-Amazonia II”
1. Amazonia II has less incident of water coloring or cloudiness.
2. It contains black soil, appropriate for water plants growth, and its natural color matches well with planted aquarium.
3. It lowers pH and KH, and makes ideal water condition for most plants and tropical fish.
