ADA Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver.2

Aqua Soil Amazonia Ver.2 is made from 100% natural black soil, carefully processed to recreate the look and water conditions of a South American riverbed. It lowers pH and softens water naturally, creating an environment where aquatic plants can absorb nutrients easily, while producing noticeably less initial turbidity than the original Amazonia.

Each pack includes the Amazonia Supplement, a nutrient-rich additive that further improves the soil’s fertility for stronger, healthier plant growth. Looking for other substrate options? Check out our full range of aquascaping substrates and soils. Available in 3L and 9L.

Features & Benefits

  • 100% natural black soil with high humic and nutrient content, close to the natural habitat of South American blackwater rivers.
  • Lowers pH to a range of 5.5 to 6.5, the optimal zone for most aquatic plants to take up nutrients.
  • Softens harder tap water, widening the range of plants and fish you can keep successfully.
  • Includes the Amazonia Supplement (16ml for 3L, 50ml for 9L) for an extra nutrient boost at setup.
  • Granules hold their shape and density long-term, maintaining water and oxygen flow through the substrate.
  • Makes it easier to grow demanding plants such as Tonina and Syngonanthus.

Recommended For

  • Planted and aquascaped tanks, especially demanding carpet and stem plants.
  • Soft-water species such as Apistogramma and dwarf shrimp.
  • Anyone setting up a new nature aquarium-style layout from scratch.
