ADA Power Sand Basic (S) 2L

The ADA Power Sand Basic S 2L is a planted aquarium base substrate designed to support root growth, substrate aeration and beneficial bacteria activity. It is used below ADA Aqua Soil to create a healthier long-term foundation for aquatic plants. The S granule size is suitable for shallower aquariums and small to medium layouts.

The ADA Power Sand Basic S 2L combines porous material with organic nutrients and delayed-release inorganic nutrients. It also contains Bacter 100 and Clear Super, helping beneficial microorganisms establish quickly inside the substrate layer. This improves the root-zone environment and supports stronger plant growth over time.

This product is suitable for Nature Aquarium layouts, planted tanks, shrimp aquariums and aquascapes where a stable substrate foundation is important. It should be spread as the bottom layer and fully covered with Aqua Soil before planting. It is a good choice for aquarists who want ADA substrate system benefits without the stronger nutrient profile of Power Sand Advance.
