Using Amazonia Ver.2 to Enhance your Nature Aquarium
To create beautiful Nature Aquarium, it is crucial to cultivate healthy aquatic plants. In this guide, we will introduce the essential substrate material that supports plant growth and explain how to set it up.
Aqua Soil – Amazonia Ver.2
Original ADA soil made from natural black soil. It is easy to manage in the initial stages of setting up a tank and is suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
Features:
– Helps maintain a mildly acidic water environment, reducing discoloration and algae growth.
– Comes with Amazonia Supplement, which allows for nutrient adjustments.

Amazonia Supplement
A pellet-type solid nutrient included with Amazonia Ver.2. The supplying amount can be adjusted based on the types of aquatic plants and the desired layout.
Features:
– Contains effective components essential for aquatic plant growth, which contained abundantly in original Amazonia.
– Enriched with nitrogen to support healthy plant development.

Comparison of plant’s growth between Amazonia Ver.2 and II
Aqua Soil-Amazonia Ver.2
Only Amazonia Supplement was used for the substrate nutrients. Because Amazonia Supplement supplies nitrogen contents to the substrate, the water condition becomes higher in ammonium, nitrous acid and nitric acid. Not only after planting but also after trimming, aquatic plants grow well, and colors of leaves stay rich and vibrant.
■Water condition after 2 weeks : pH: 5.8 NH4: 5.0mg/L NO2: 0.02mg/L
NO3: 20mg/L PO4: 0.20mg/L
■Water condition after 1 month and half : pH: 6.2 NH4: Not detected NO2: Not detected

Aqua Soil – Amazinia II（Discontinued）
Although it is generally used with other products such as Power Sand Advance S, for this time, only Amazonia II was used for setting the substrate. Although there was no difference in the growth of aquatic plants right after planting, the density, size, and color depth of the leaves are weaker than Amazonia Ver.2 at the stage of after 2 months. After trimming, the difference is obvious.

The Foundation of Nature Aquarium: Substrate Preparation
A well-prepared substrate is essential for growing aquatic plants beautifully and healthily. This guide will introduce the proper way to set up a substrate in Nature Aquarium. By carefully designing the substrate, you can achieve a beautiful aquascape!
Laying and Leveling Power Sand
Power Sand is rich in nutrients and helps prevent substrate hardening over time. Pour it directly into the aquarium from the bag and spread it evenly. Leaving a 1 cm gap at the front will create a clean and polished look.
