Description

ADA Power Sand Basic

ADA Power Sand Basic is an essential substrate foundation for planted aquariums, designed to support long-term plant growth by fostering beneficial bacteria and providing a steady release of nutrients. It combines porous materials with organic and inorganic nutrients, as well as ADA’s Bacter 100 and Clear Super additives, which help to quickly establish a healthy microbial environment in the substrate. Power Sand Basic is ideal for creating a stable base that promotes root growth and nutrient absorption, enhancing the overall health of your aquascape.

Features

  • Rich Nutrient Blend: Contains both organic and slow-release inorganic nutrients to support plant growth over time.
  • Supports Beneficial Bacteria: Includes Bacter 100 and Clear Super, additives that increase microbial activity, creating a healthy substrate base.
  • Porous Structure: The porous material helps with water circulation in the substrate, supporting root growth and oxygenation.
  • Two Size Options: Available in 1L and 2L bags to suit different tank sizes and setups.

Available Sizes

  • Power Sand Basic S (1L): Ideal for small tanks.
  • Power Sand Basic S (2L): Suitable for larger or medium-sized tanks.

Difference Between Power Sand Basic and Power Sand Advance

Power Sand Advance is an upgraded version of Power Sand Basic, offering additional nutrients and BC powder (bamboo charcoal powder) for even better plant growth support. Power Sand Advance is ideal for advanced setups that require a higher nutrient content and enhanced microbial activity. Choose Power Sand Advance for more demanding plants or if you’re looking to maximize growth in deeper tanks.

Recommended Use

ADA Power Sand Basic is recommended for aquascapers looking to create a stable and nutrient-rich foundation for their planted aquariums. It is best used as the base layer in combination with Aqua Soil or other substrate materials, ensuring healthy root development and sustained plant growth. For more nutrient-demanding setups, consider upgrading to Power Sand Advance.

Willing To Help!

100% satisfied with the service I received. I am new to the hobby and Leo took the time to answer any questions I had and even suggested a few products to help my plants thrive in their new home without harming any live stock.

Great Local Business

I have been in contact with the store since January in order to get the right selection of plants. Even with the pandemic and lack of supplies they were able to get my full selection which was pretty big. The quality of Tropica plants are impeccable. They answered all my questions and help me out with many tips regarding how to best plant my selection. If you wish to support a local business and get the best selection of plants 100% recommend using Aquascaperoom Canada.

Amazing Service

Great service. On time Toronto pick-up. Received a follow-up email from Leo the next day asking about my satisfaction with their products and service. That doesn't happen everyday and it was very much appreciated. I will buy from Aquascaperoom again soon.

Best Customer Service!

Such an amazing customer service. I ordered a few plants and some didnt look too good. I contacted them and they responded quickly. They took time to help me and walked me through what to do with the plants. They are very kind and understanding. I will be purchasing more from them in the future.

Only the best!

I’ve been using live plants in my aquariums for a little over two years. I get a lot of them from the aquascaperoom website. I have never had any problems, all the plants arrive very healthy and I bought their fertilizer tablets and liquid fertilizer and both are amazing for helping keep my plants healthy. They got so much variety on the website and the shipping is amazing. I can’t recommend them enough, you won’t be sorry you bought plants from this amazing business.

Express Shipping with DOA!

The customer service here was absolutely above and beyond! I had 2 items arrive in not so good health but that probably happened during shipping and not because of the company, regardless I was refunded the 110% store credit for the items. Everything was well packed upon my next order and even came with a 72hr heat pack for the plants! I will do a lot more shopping here and will recommend it to anyone! Thank you Aquascaperoom!
