ADA power sand medium is a premium 6L medium grain nutrient-rich base layer substrate designed for mid-size planted aquarium setups typically in the 45cm to 60cm tank range. This essential foundation product from Aqua Design Amano features medium-sized porous pumice granules mixed with peat and concentrated nutrients plus beneficial bacteria starter cultures that immediately begin building the biological ecosystem beneath your soil substrate. The medium grain size creates optimal water circulation spaces for tanks in the 45cm to 60cm range where the substrate depth is moderate and a balance between water flow and nutrient retention is needed. Power Sand Advance Medium is placed as the very first layer at the bottom of the aquarium before adding Amazonia or other ADA soil substrates on top creating a nutrient-dense foundation that feeds plant roots from below for years. The porous pumice granules prevent substrate compaction allowing oxygenated water to reach the deepest root zones which is critical for preventing anaerobic conditions that can harm plant roots and release toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. This product is a core component of the legendary ADA substrate system that has defined professional aquascaping substrate technology for decades. Available at TaraPet the UAE trusted online pet and aquarium store with free delivery across the country.
