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.
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.
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.
