ADA Africana 9L Aquasoil

Aquarium Soil Africana resembling red soil commonly seen in tropical regions can add a tropical feel to the layout by spreading it on the substrate surface.

ADA Africana is a natural soil substrate ideal for aquascapers seeking a stable, soft-water environment. It gently lowers pH and KH, creating conditions that are well-suited for most tropical aquatic plants. Compared to more nutrient-rich substrates like ADA Amazonia, Africana has a lower initial nutrient content, which results in minimal ammonia leaching, clearer water, and a faster cycling processmaking it easier to introduce livestock sooner.

Its more moderate nutrient profile also means plant growth tends to be slower and more manageable, making it a great option for aquarists who prefer a lower-maintenance tank without constant trimming. While it may not fully support demanding or fast-growing plant species on its own, this can be easily addressed by supplementing with ADA Brighty liquid fertilisers and root tabs. With proper support and CO injection, Africana can still perform well in aquascapes with more advanced plant specieswhile offering a cleaner, more controlled start.
